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.
