Making an impact: Di...

Diana Tacuba’s heart has always been with those whose voices are often unheard, especially young girls facing unimaginable challenges. That is why she chose Fundación Dar y Amar Daya as the recipient of her Community Impact Award donation. The Mexico-based nonprofit provides a safe haven for girls and young women who have survived abuse and violence in their homes or communities. Beyond shelter, Daya offers emotional support, legal guidance, education, and skill-building so these young women can reclaim their futures. When she learned she had received the Community Impact Award, Diana felt immense gratitude—not just for the recognition, but for the opportunity to shine a light on Daya. Each year, the Lockton family honors Associates who go above and beyond to serve their communities with a $25,000 donation to the organization of their choice. Diana embodies the dedication and compassion the Community Impact Award represents. “This award is not only mine,” she says. “It belongs to all of Lockton Mexico. None of this would be possible without the dedication of my colleagues who support both our clients, and our community every day.” “As a woman, I deeply relate to Daya’s mission,” Diana says. “Without this support, many of these girls would be facing lives on the streets, trapped in cycles of abuse or addiction. Daya gives them a chance.” Through her volunteer work, Diana has gotten to know the girls and their stories firsthand. The experience left a lasting impression. “It’s painful to see the reality they face,” she says. “There is still much to do for our nearby communities and small actions can make a big change.” Diana has already shared her professional expertise with the girls of Daya by leading financial literacy workshops. Looking ahead, she hopes to build even deeper connections between Lockton and the organization. “We need to keep listening to what the girls need and find ways to implement more actions so we can continue to contribute at Lockton,” she explains. She credits Lockton’s people-first culture for enabling her to pursue this passion. “Lockton makes you feel seen and valuable.” Having started her career as an intern, Diana has grown alongside the company. “It is hard not to fall in love with Lockton. It has an exciting culture, a very strong identity, versatile and dynamic work teams, and above all, it is a company with a vision beyond just doing business, Lockton is made by its people.”

We are proud to launch our new partnership with add-victor, an organisation who helps place elite athletes and exceptional individuals into corporate roles. Add-Victor leverages their unique skills and experiences for career success beyond their original fields. Martyn Worsley, Lockton Chief People Officer, said: “This collaboration is about championing future talent by tapping into their diverse experiences and skill sets, such as resilience, accountability and innovative thinking, which are essential to thrive in today’s business environment. Lockton has a unique culture that aligns strongly with these individuals and allows us to continue to expand our future talent pool whilst investing in our ongoing success.” To kick off the partnership, we hosted an exclusive event with 40+ professional athletes, including 10 Paris Olympians. Attendees heard inspiring insights from Tim Prendergast (New Zealand Paralympian), who shared his transformative Paralympic journey, revealing how the challenges of sport forge the resilience needed to overcome life's toughest obstacles. Our own Gordon D’Arcy (former Leinster, Ireland and British and Irish Lions rugby player), who successfully transitioned from elite sports to the corporate world, talked about his journey and how he mastered the art of collaboration and teamwork. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to welcoming more exceptional talent to Lockton and Lockton Re.

Making a difference:...

Graham Turville-Ince's commitment to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) is more than a passion - it's a mission to create meaningful change. His dedication began at CPA's Randwick Race Day, where he met a 6-year-old girl whose life was transformed by early intervention programs. "Her progress was remarkable, and seeing her parents' strength, especially with a second child also affected by cerebral palsy, left a lasting impression," Graham shared. This experience fueled his ongoing involvement. From volunteering at CPA's headquarters in Sydney to raising over $6,000 through the STEPtember challenge, where he took over one million steps to support the cause, Graham continues to raise funds and awareness for CPA. He also works to inspire others, whether colleagues or clients, to join in advocating for CPA's mission. Graham's efforts were recently recognised with Lockton's prestigious Community Impact Award. Funded by the Lockton family, this honour celebrates Associates making a difference in their communities through volunteering and philanthropy. The award includes a USD 25,000 donation for the recipient's charity of choice, which Graham directed to CPA. "Presenting that cheque, knowing the impact it will make, was an unforgettable moment," he said. "I felt genuinely humbled. It's incredible to be recognised alongside many passionate and impactful colleagues." The donation will go to providing vital therapy, respite services and a number of other programs for people living with cerebral palsy and their families. Lockton's caring culture played a critical role in Graham's ability to support CPA, allowing him to lead by example at work and in the community. "Lockton doesn't just support my passion- it enables it," he reflected. "From hands-on charity days to backing vetted causes, the encouragement from my team is invaluable." Looking ahead, Graham is determined to expand his advocacy efforts for CPA. He's working on transitioning fundraising events from his previous involvement with Oxfam to CPA and aims to inspire his professional network to support this vital cause. "Collaboration is key, whether it's colleagues, clients, or other organisations," he said. Graham remains focused on expanding CPA's impact, inspiring action within his networks, and driving lasting change. "When we work together, the possibilities for transformation are endless," he shared.

Global Community Imp...

If you're interested in supporting Camo to College, click here to learn more. Josh Arnold, a former Marine Corps Section Leader, has been awarded Lockton’s Global Community Impact Award after being recognized as a regional winner last year. The award was presented to him for his dedicated work with Camo to College, a nonprofit he founded in 2021 to help veterans transition back into civilian life. Josh describes it as a “transition to society brokerage,” acting as an advocate for veterans as they navigate the complexities of post-military life—whether it’s pursuing education, vocational training, or a new career path. Winning the award for the second consecutive year was a surprise for Josh, who didn’t expect his growing nonprofit to receive such recognition so soon. 'It’s amazing to know that people believe in our mission and recognize the work that has gone into getting us to where we are now,' he says. In addition to the award, Josh was astonished to receive a generous $100,000 donation to Camo to College from the Lockton family - the largest donation given since the launch of the Community Impact Award. “The support and dedication to philanthropic efforts at Lockton is unmatched. Having the President of our company as one of our first donors, receiving such a substantial contribution from the Lockton family, and the incredible support of my coworkers has been overwhelming!” Josh’s leadership style is rooted in problem-solving and a deep sense of responsibility to his fellow veterans. “When I see an issue, I trace it back to the root and put a plan together to fix it. Camo to College started because I saw too many veterans struggling after their service, and too many of my brothers taking their own lives. Veteran suicide is a huge issue, but instead of just addressing the symptoms, I wanted to go back to where it all began: the transition to civilian life. That’s where we can make the biggest difference.” Josh’s belief in Lockton’s business model paved the way for how he structured his nonprofit. “I don’t think there is a Camo to College without Lockton. The idea isn’t some visionary plan, but the simplicity of it works. Be an advocate to our clients, make them a priority, and do everything in our power to make them happy.” At Lockton, culture is more than just a talking point—it’s woven into the fabric of the company. “We brag about our culture at Lockton, and I think to a certain extent, a lot of companies do this,” says Josh. “However, it’s the follow-through that makes Lockton stand out.” Lockton goes beyond promoting its values, ensuring they are reflected in every aspect of the business. “They have instilled certain values that they believe can attract the right Associates and make a company successful, and the difference is the effort and energy put into validating these values,” Josh explains. This dedication to authenticity is what makes Lockton's culture exceptional. Through Lockton’s support, both financially and culturally, Camo to College is now on a path to help veterans not just survive but thrive after military service. “Lockton’s values of service and community are why I love working here,” says Josh. “The company truly cares, and that’s evident in everything they do. I’m so thankful for the Lockton family, my colleagues, and everyone who has supported this mission. Together, we’re making a real difference in the lives of veterans.”
