"Our support ranges from working on boards of organisations as a volunteer, volunteering on a community project, providing people power from our team members to help run events, providing sponsorship money to run events and clubs plus also getting involved ourselves and putting in some elbow grease," Craig said.
"Giving back to the community is the most important thing you can do in your life. If the world was full of givers and takers and there were more takers than givers, then fundamentally our society collapses."
