Our Commitment To Change
Here at Ecostar, we’re continuing our commitment to helping people in our local areas – and this is about more than home improvements. While double glazing is a great way to improve the performance of your property, helping you to feel more secure and save on your energy bills, we know there’s far more we can do to help.
That’s why we’re partnering with local charities and other worthy organisations to make even more of a difference in people’s lives, improving their wellbeing and quality of life, and just generally helping to make people happy. That’s all that really matters after all, right?
If you would like to find out more information about our charity drive and how you can do even more to help make a change, we welcome you to contact our friendly team for more information. Raising awareness will help us hugely, and we’re grateful for every single person who gets behind this and helps us to help others.
This Month's Featured Charity
Helping Kids Start the School Year Right
This December, Ecostar is proud to support Backpacks for VIC Kids, an organization making a tangible difference for children in out-of-home care. We are donating $150 from every sale made this month, with the funds going directly toward their School Essentials Packs.
For every $36 raised, Backpacks for VIC Kids can create a customized pack filled with essential school items such as books, notepads, pencils, pens, markers, a lunchbox, and a water bottle—valued at $144! What makes these packs truly special is the care taken to personalize each one. By working closely with carers or agencies, the charity ensures every pack matches the child’s personal preferences, bringing both practical support and a touch of joy.
Together, we can give these children the tools and confidence they need to thrive at school. Thank you for joining us in making a difference this holiday season!

Making A Real Difference
Over the past few months, we’ve been donating to a number of incredibly important and worthwhile chartities across the local area, helping to make a real difference to those we’ve partnered with.
This is just another reason why you should choose Ecostar – with our commitment to the local community, and our history and the story of us as a company, you know you can count on us.
We recently had the privilege of visiting Back 2 Basics Melbourne, Empower Australia, Sweet Paws Dog Rescue and Wildlife Victoria to see how their operations work and present them with a giant cheque!
Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia’s CEO, Anne Savage, spoke to us about what they’re doing to help men across the country – and what you can do to support this worthy charity.
Can you tell us a bit about the Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia’s mission?
PCFA’s mission is to reduce the burden of prostate cancer for all Australians, mobilising the community to drive research, prevention and early detection, improved treatments, and psychosocial care. Our vision is a future where no man dies of prostate cancer and Australian men and their families get the support they need.
Can you tell us about some of the fundraising initiatives or campaigns the foundation is involved in?
PCFA runs three signature campaigns throughout the year including Walk for Him during Men’s Health Week in June, Dry July, and The Long Run which is held in September during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
In addition to our signature campaigns, our A-Team fundraisers host a wide number of community events each year, registering at fundraise.pcfa.org.au/. PCFA is also grateful to have the support of many thousands of individual donors who donate to our work by post or online via pcfa.org.au/donate.
How can individuals or businesses support the foundation’s work?
People can donate online via pcfa.org.au/donate or phone our team today on 1800 22 00 99 to find out more about campaigns and events in their local area. People can register to make a difference by hosting their own fundraiser at fundraise.pcfa.org.au. We are also incredibly humbled by the many Australians who choose to leave a gift to PCFA in their Will.
