Sweeney Research will be working with the Prahran Mission as our charity for 2010. Our aim is to help raise funds for a large scale renovation project which will result in a new community hub where multiple groups and individuals from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds can meet, teach and connect.

In 2006, many of our staff took part in the 24 hour Relay for Life, raising funds for the Cancer Council. We were one of the highest fund raisers for the Albert Park event.

In 2007 and 2008 we have entered teams in the 100km 48 hour OXFAM walk. Alongside the staff camaraderie (and fitness benefits), the endurance event is also an important fundraiser for OXFAM. In 2007, we raised over $6,000 in Sydney. With our four teams in Melbourne in 2008, we raised over $15,000.

On some surveys, we work with our clients to offer a small donation for each completed survey.

Respondents are given a choice of a wide range of causes to which they can make a donation.

Murdoch Childrens Research Institute discovers ways to prevent and treat conditions affecting babies, children and adolescents, helping them lead happy, healthy lives. The Institute conducts innovative world class research into common childhood conditions including heart disease, cancer, mental illness, cerebral palsy, premature birth, asthma & auto immune disorders.

Sweeney research is proud to be associated with the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute through its annual survey into community awareness and attitudes towards the Institute.
