Community

Community Service. Sponsors, Partners, Volunteers. Active Community Support.

The people of Sharpe Bros. are committed to making a positive and meaningful contribution to the Communities we serve. Under its famous Green trade mark, Sharpe Bros. provides support to Community groups through donations, partnerships, volunteering and community sponsorships.

By utilising the company resources of plant and equipment, the people of Sharpe Bros. have provided services tocommunity groups in times of need including floods, clean up days and bushfires. Our various trucks and machines carrying the Sharpe’s Green trade mark have been used for everything from rubbish clean up and carting material to setting up fun runs and street parades.

The Sharpe Bros. Art Prizes provide funding to allow a special focus on providing Australian artists with greater opportunities for career development and exposure of their work.
