Our Board

Sharon Gleeson

APCO Foundation Chair

The APCO Foundation began its work in 2013 when we realised that we could do  so much more together than separately. I have always believed that a community is created when people are kind to those who are in need of help and support. Building this foundation together with my 3 sisters and my other wonderful board members for the past 7 years has been extremely rewarding.  I was a franchisee within the APCO company for over 19 years and being able to continue on the board as Chair has been challenging, exciting and personally for me an enriching experience.

Christine Healy

APCO Foundation Director

Every day we see or read Heartbreaking stories. Volunteering is a way for me to do something helpful and positive to our community. A little assistance to someone or a family in need, even the smallest gestures can make a difference to them. And I hope the time and support I give to the foundation helps in a small way. It also helps me put my life in perspective. Your time is the most important thing you can give to another person.

Being a part of the APCO family since 2016 in the Finance Division, I have seen the incredible work and impact the APCO Foundation has had on the community from the outside. I now look forward to working with my fellow board members to continue this great work and put a smile on people’s faces. It really puts things into perspective and glad we can contribute to brightening up the lives of those who need it.

Andrew Jones

APCO Foundation Director

Since 2016 it has been a privilege to be a director. Apart from the enjoyment of working with my co-directors, the fun of the fundraising events, the best part is being able to assist people through some really tough times. The difference with this foundation is we assist families and people to get over difficult times and we really make a difference. As well we support many local not-for-profits. We could not do this without the tremendous support from the APCO family.
