In his leisure time, he derives great satisfaction from mentoring a diverse group of young entrepreneurs, firmly believing in the duty of business leaders to contribute to the development of the next generation.

Shane’s network is further enriched by his philanthropic pursuits, where he channels his acumen as a business builder to assist those in need.

This social enterprise is dedicated to empowering children aged 3-11 through a range of offerings, including books, workshops, and programs, all designed to equip them with invaluable psychological tools for maintaining robust mental health.

In addition to his role at The Magic Coat for Kids, Shane is an active member of the Rotary Club of Crawley. Furthermore, he serves as a board member of The Yellow Umbrella Foundation, an organisation with a mission to establish and fund children’s mental health services throughout Australia. The foundation’s primary focus is on addressing the pressing concern of rising mental health issues among children, achieved through financial support to organizations offering essential mental health services to young individuals. By emphasizing early intervention and preventive measures, the foundation strives to enhance the overall well-being and future prospects of children across Australia.
