He also had a strong sense of duty and a deep empathy for the welfare of those whom he represented. At Cicero we have embraced these values to support various charities and local community groups. Examples are provided below.

World Vision – Economic Development (www.worldvision.com.au)
By identifying the ways incomes can be improved, communities can begin the process of wealth creation: an integral part of reducing poverty. Higher incomes make people less vulnerable to shocks like natural disasters and help them break the cycle of poverty. It also gives children better opportunities to access education and healthcare. World Vision works hand-in-hand with individual communities to address their economic challenges. Mathew Walker is a World Vision Australia Economic Development Ambassador.
