Eastgate Shopping Centre has taken time out to give back to the community. The Centre supports its community through various initiatives and activations throughout the year. With the assistance of loyal shoppers, Eastgate Shopping Centre is able to donate significant funds to its charities and through these campaigns support the local community.
Some of the noteworthy initiatives this year included supporting Elandspark School, Cupcakes of Hope, Kids Haven, Coach and Hospice Wits.
Eastgate Shopping Centre donated R16 000.00 to Elandspark School, a “special needs” school where their aim is to equip their learners with practical skills via vocational training that they can use in ‘the real world’. The funds were utilized to purchase roller-shutters for their feeding schemes. Furthermore, Eastgate table cloths were donated to support their Needle Work Classes.
During the June/July school holidays, Eastgate Shopping Centre brought shoppers the Eastgate Ice Rink to enhance the entertainment offering and to provide a fun experience for the whole family. Eastgate Shopping Centre donated R20252.50 each to Kids Haven and COACH.
Kids Haven provides guidance, therapy, training and support to children on the streets and others in need in the local community. COACH was formed to administrate three Children’s Homes, namely St George’s, St Joseph’s and St Nicolas’ with the Anglican Diocese of Johannesburg. COACH has transformed these centres from simply providing custodial care into fully therapeutic, life space intervention centres.
Cupcakes of HOPE hosted the 5th National Cupcake Day at Eastgate Shopping Centre in September to raise funds for kids with cancer. The event raised a total donation of R37 341, 50
Cupcakes for HOPE is a Non-Profit organisation that aims to raise awareness for families in need of medical assistance.
The Eastgate Look of Fashion Top 16 Finalists collected and donated clothes to Hospice Wits.
Eastgate Look of Fashion is one of the Centre’s signature events that showcases fashion and beauty.
Hospice Wits provides palliative care and support to the communities within the Johannesburg Metropolitan District, primarily Johannesburg and Soweto.
Eastgate Centre Management would like to thank all the tenants and shoppers who participated in the initiatives, as their contributions have truly made a difference in the lives of people in our community.
