A small team from Argyle Diamonds were some of the first Rio Tinto employees to receive a Dollars for Doers grant for their Little Aussie Legends project.

These employees travel to remote Aboriginal communities in the East Kimberley in their own time to run football clinics for children at school.  The clinics encourage better school attendance, improved school work and good behaviour.

In 2007 they rewarded eight conscientious students by taking them on an AFL trip to Melbourne.

Dollars for Doers is part of Rio Tinto’s Employees in the Community programme to support and encourage Rio Tinto employees to volunteer and fundraise in their local communities.

It recognises the importance of giving back to the communities where our employees live and work and supporting the causes they are passionate about.
