Bulk Nutrients Proudly Supporting the Community

2019 / 2020 Australian Bushfire Crisis

In mid-January 2020 during the height of the Australian Bushfire Crisis, Bulk Nutrients made a one off donation of $10,000 to the Salvation Army Bushfire Appeal.

This was followed up two weeks later with a special run of Vanilla Maple Protein Matrix+ where all proceeds were donated between the WWF and the Salvation Army Bushfire Appeals. This special run of protein sold out in just five days and raised a whopping $20,000 which went toward helping Aussie families and animals affected by the devastating bushfires.

This second donation brought Bulk’s total contribution up to $30,000 for a great cause.

Huon Valley After School Activities 2020

We believe supporting young people to become active can have long term positive impacts, and we are pleased to support our local council to provide weekly after school activities in regional centres such as Dover, Huonville, Cygnet and Port Huon. The after school activities promote healthy living and community connection, and give children in remote and regional areas an opportunity to access fun group and sporting activities that are often only available to children in metropolitan centres.

Action and Development for Africa

Action and Development for Africa is a cause close to our hearts at Bulk Nutrients as it was set up by one of our own, Bienvenu (Ben) Nkwaya, one of our staff members. Ben is a Congolese refugee who has always been concerned about the development of his home country.

While Congo has some of the world’s richest resources due to the political situation, it is sadly one of the most impoverished countries in the world. Ben believes that by focusing on the education of girls, he can assist lifting the most vulnerable Congolese from poverty.

His charity ensures that children are supported by way of education through their childhood and into their teenage years. You can find out more about Ben's amazing grassroots charity here.

Little Wings

Since 2015 we’ve proudly supported the Little Wings Ride for Flight. Little Wings’ goal is to assist children with cancer and other long-term serious illnesses, whilst they are undergoing treatment by providing a free flight service to and from these health facilities to lessen the travel fatigue, financial burden, emotional strain and length of separation from their families that these children experience.

Hobart United

Hobart United is a soccer team which embraces multiculturalism, particularly focusing on African immigrant communities in Tasmania.

In 2012 Hobart United approached Bulk Nutrients founder Ben for some assistance to keep them from folding under significant debts. Hearing their story and their purpose, Ben truly wanted support them.

In the 6+ years Bulk Nutrients has been supporting Hobart United they have gone from a struggling club with less than 50 members to a club with 150+ players with teams representing from under 7’s to seniors, and more recently a women’s team.

While they are a competitive club in many of the leagues, their major focus remains on building strong networks and encouraging social integration for all members. Bulk Nutrients is immensely proud of the club, the community they have built for the migrant community and what they continue to achieve.

Mobart Mo Bros

The Mobart Mo Bros are a group of Tasmanians binding together to raise awareness and funds for men's health. In the early days, the Mo Bros organised a run from Launceston to Hobart covering about 200 kilometres, running two kilometres at a time passing the ‘Mo’ baton. But as the event grew it because logically difficult, so the growing group of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas decided to participate in already established fun run the Point to Pinnacle to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. We support the team each year during their Movember efforts change the face of men’s health. Want to get involved? Find out more here.
