Whitbread Insurance Brokers has established a foundation to support a $1 million commitment to The Hunger Project over the next four years.

Director John Paul Whitbread says the Whitbread Foundation was set up by the family-owned company in honour of his late parents, John and Margaret. It will provide help to communities in need – something his parents felt strongly about.

“Our parents were involved in a lot of community activities,” he told insuranceNEWS.com.au. “We feel it’s in keeping with our values as a family but is also reinforced within the organisation.”

The Hunger Project is a global charity that works with Third World communities.
