Community

Argyle supports Future2 Foundation, the foundation of the Financial Planners Association.

Peter Bobbin, Argyle’s Managing Principal, is a Director of Future2 Foundation and is actively involved in the initiative.

Future2 is a channel through which the financial planning profession and those linked to it can make a positive difference to the lives of those in need.

Since May 2007 Future2 has made grants of over $150,000 to community charities and not-for-profit bodies working with disadvantaged young Australians.

Future2 contribute to projects and programs which give a second chance and hope for a better future to Australians trapped in difficult financial and social circumstances.

Future2 Foundation seeks to support programs and projects that:

• are targeted to disadvantaged and those in society who have special needs;
• focus on young people up to the age of 25;
• operate on a regional or nationwide basis; though local projects that have potential for wider application may also be considered;
• are able to demonstrate results;
• involve financial planning professionals in some capacity, e.g. as community volunteers or in pro bono activity;
• are collaborative in nature, with non-profit organisations working, for example, with social service and youth agencies or community-based adult education centres.

In 2010 and 2011 Peter Bobbin was one of several cyclists who completed the BT F2 Wheel Classic - Bourke to Sydney in 1,251kms.
