CTM partners with The Lady Musgrave Trust to support the prosperity of young Queenslanders

Corporate Travel Management (CTM) and The Lady Musgrave Trust (LMT) today announced a major partnership agreement. The partnership aims to raise awareness, and importantly, support the prosperity of young women in the community who are experiencing (or are at risk of) homelessness due to domestic and family violence.

The Lady Musgrave Trust is Queensland’s oldest charity, and for 137 years, has provided practical solutions for young women and their children at risk of or experiencing homelessness. The Lady Musgrave Trust provides about 8,000 nights of safety annually via their Southeast Queensland properties and distributes more than 20,000 hard copies of The Handy Guide, their service directory for women in need, every year.

CEO of The Lady Musgrave Trust, Victoria Parker said, “The cost of living is skyrocketing, and this time of year is notorious for increased domestic and family violence – the single largest precursor for women experiencing homelessness.”

“This three-year partnership with CTM will allow the Trust to transform the lives of more Queensland women who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.”

“The Trust doesn’t receive recurrent government funding, so this partnership is an excellent example of corporate organisations joining forces with charities and making a significant impact on the lives of Queenslanders.”

With CTM having a 72% female workforce and a company value to support the prosperity of all people, CTM is well-aligned to support LMT in the pursuit of preventing physical and coercive control in the home environment.

CTM’s Head of ESG and Sustainability, John Nicholls said, “This is an incredibly worthy cause that aligns perfectly with our prosperity pillar to help raise awareness and support for people in our community who have suffered hardship in their lives and deserve a brighter future.”
