Examples of our social responsibility efforts are:

The Witzenberg Trust was established with three core focus areas namely; education, healthcare and SMME development with a specific focus on agriculture and women in the Ceres, Tulbagh and Witzenberg areas in the Western Cape. Global Conferences Africa volunteered our services to the Witzenberg Trust to handle all secretarial, administrative, financial control and running of a major philharmonic concert, which is to take place in Ceres in October 2008. In addition to being a major fund-raising exercise for the community, this project aims to bring music to the communities in rural area.

Jooste Hospital in Kayelitsha. We contributed confectionary packs to go into ‘Thank you’ bags to the approximately 500 nurses and other women who work tirelessly under challenging circumstances, as part of a Women’s Day initiative and we intend doing something similar each year.
