Matthew Smith, SERVICE ONE's CEO,  has joined other bosses from across Canberra to be ‘locked up’ for a great cause.

Matthew Smith, CEO SERVICE ONE

It’s all part of the 2019 Lock Up Your Boss initiative that calls on bosses to be locked up in a virtual prison and raise a minimum amount for bail to get released in June. Most importantly, all funds raised go to Lifeline Canberra to support their 24/7 crisis support service. 

SERVICE ONE has been a long term supporter of the initiaitve. 

'As a social enterprise, we’re passionate about investing in organisations and initiatives that make a positive societal impact. With so many Canberrans struggling with mental health, the crisis support and suicide prevention services that Lifeline Canberra provides to our community are critical. 

SERVICE ONE is proud of our ongoing association with this initiative. I’ll be participating again this year and put the call out to bosses across our region to get involved… get your workforce involved, have a bit of fun and importantly, all money raised goes to a truly great cause!' says Matthew.

SERVICE ONE helped to conceive the initiative with Lifeline Canberra and since the first Lock Up Your Boss a few years ago, over $200,000 has been raised and we hope to increase this further with another great total in 2019.

To date, 20 bosses have signed up to participate and we’re encouraging more ACT bosses to jump on board. To lend your support viisit Lock Up Your Boss or to check out who’s involved and contribute to someone’s bail or to register yourself or nominate your boss, visit Lifeline Canberra
