Recognising that many Australian families are doing it tougher than ever before, Isuzu Ute Australia (IUA) has pledged a Christmas donation of $100,000 across three charities which are: The Salvation Army, Beyond Blue and Lifeline Australia.

IUA managing director Hiroyasu Sato made the decision that instead of investing in a Christmas advertising campaign the company felt because 2020 had been a tough year for many people, it would much rather give back to those in need.

For more than 140 years, The Salvation Army has been supporting Australian families in need with their nationwide initiatives and campaigns, working directly with those who need it the most.

Recognising that not all struggles are monetary or physical, Beyond Blue provides support to those experiencing anxiety, depression or suicide. 

Operating 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, Lifeline Australia provides crisis support and emotional assistance to those in need, not only via telephone, but via text and online.

The donation from Isuzu Ute Australia towards these three charities, will see that some much-needed support and joy will go to families and those who are doing it tough this Christmas. 

Recognising that Christmas is only Christmas when it is shared with others, IUA would like to encourage the community to show their support towards not-for-profit organisations. 

It also works year round with some family-focused charities such as Daniel Morecombe Foundation and 4 ASD Kids, which IUA also encourages the community to support these great causes as well.
