McLardy McShane has formed a partnership with the non-profit House of Darwin Foundation as National Reconciliation Week begins today.  

The foundation was set up by former AFL player Shaun Edwards, who established clothing brand House of Darwin, which invests a portion of its profits in social programs in remote Indigenous communities across the NT. 

“McLardy McShane is incredibly passionate about continuing to resolve some of the issues NT communities are facing day to day and we have been inspired by the House of Darwin story and the work they are doing,” COO Meg Long said. 

"This partnership will grow deeper ... We encourage our McLardy McShane community to look into the foundation’s work, from their Hoop Dreams initiative to their support of the Darwin Dingoes basketball team.”  

Mr Edwards says he has enjoyed a 15-year friendship with the McLardy family and the new partnership will allow the foundation to continue backing Indigenous initiatives, starting with the Tiwi Islands Football League.
