More than just provide better places to work, we're actively
involved in the communities in which we work.
We're honoured to have received 2005 Lane Cove Council
Citizenship Award in recognition of our fine contribution to
the community life in Lane Cove.
Other areas of our contribution include supporter of Lane Cove
Art Society, including the popular 2005 amateur Art
competition which we sponsored and drew outstanding works from
highly talented artists on the theme of "work and lifestyle
perceptions in Sydney". The winners are displayed in our
new hi tech Parkview premises in Lane Cove, and some of the
works of art shown on this page.
Ford Land have also been a proud supporter of the Blacktown
Art Society from its very first Art Exhibition in 1995. Each
year Blacktown Art Society conducts their annual art
exhibition, which attracts outstanding talent from the
western Sydney region. Each year Ford Land Company acquires
artworks and a number of these are displayed at our recently
refurbished Building I1 at 22 Powers Road, Seven Hills and
also at our Office in North Sydney.

Other
charitable works
Other
charitable works include supporter of the Australian Bone
Marrow Donor Registry, which raises money and awareness for
those who require bone marrow (or hemopoietic stem cells)
transplantation. Many Australians each year are
diagnosed with having leukaemia or other fatal blood
disorders. A bone marrow (or hemopoietic stem cells)
transplant is the only possibility of cure for many of these
patients, only 30% of people requiring a bone marrow
transplant will find a suitable donor within the immediate
family, the majority of donors are volunteers listed with
Bone Marrow Donor registries which are linked worldwide. Our thoughts and support are with those facing
this dire circumstance, and we wish you a very bright future.
