11. You know all the great things
about Agoo right?
Agoo Activewear is cool,
funky and comfortable clothing
that kids love to wear.
Our high tech fabrics will provide
your child with UV50+ sun protection

12. Many Australian parents are now
familiar with protecting their child
whilst at the beach or swimming
from the harmful effect of the harsh
Australian sun.
We ask why do we not apply
the same protection during
the day when playing
outside …….......
Look up it is the same sun!

13. If you are a 70’s child like me I don’t remember when they
your childhood more than came on the scene, between
likely didn’t include swimming me being a child and having
in a rash-shirt children
I can’t imagine letting my
children go to the pool/beach
They must have been strange? without one. In fact our
innovative? But they have backyard pool rules are
change the sun safe habits of
‘No rashie, No swim
Australians around water
That goes for any kid wanting
a swim in my pool
We don’t know who pioneered the way with rash suits but at Agoo we are trying to
pioneer the way with UV activewear. We hope that one day every child wouldn’t
imagine playing outside without their UV Shirts. Education starts young and we
hope if we can instil this behaviour at childcare it is a lesson they will keep for
life. We hope that this will have an impact on the growing rate of skin cancer.
Imagine if we can make a difference to this rate for our children’s generation.
We hope you will come on this journey with us.

15. We will tailor a package to suit your organisation.

Sun Smart Clothing as part the inclusions you offer to families.

clothing fantastic. It wears well, keeps them Pants and Wave Tee I ordered. How well do
cool, and best of all, it protects them from they wash? Just brilliant! My daughter spilt
the sun whilst they are out playing. They wear strawberry all down the front of her top at
Agoo to the beach, to the park, to soccer the park and the pants receive a good work
training and in and out of the water. We’d be out with grass stains and dirt, but they came
lost without our Agoo. up like new. I was very impressed.

The boys both love their Agoo. Everything fits I'd like to say that I love the colours of the

21. Solution focussed, driven, problem solvers, philanthropic and socially conscious. These are attributes Alison Covington and Susan Wallis
demonstrate in their personal as well as business dealings. If they see a problem they feel compelled to assist, which is exactly how Agoo
came to Australia
Alison left a highly successful corporate career to introduce Agoo Activewear. Having been personally touched by Melanoma, and concerned
about the screen culture of today’s young kids, Alison wanted to make a difference in the activity levels and sun protection habits of the
next generation.
Alison was amazed that a product so perfect for the Australian climate and lifestyle was not available in this country. With such a high rate of
sun related cancer, it was a product this country had to have. So she made it happen.
Agoo Activewear is cool, funky and comfortable clothing that kids love to wear. Stain resistant, UV rated, hard wearing and long lasting, so
parents love it too! Perfect for child care, kindergartens and pre-school as the sunscreen never washes off but the paint and grime does!
UV Protection …...........… not just at the beach. Many Australian parents are now familiar with protecting their child whilst at the beach or
swimming from the harmful effect of the harsh Australian sun.
We ask why do we not apply the same protection during the day when playing outside …… look up it is the same sun.
Our high tech fabrics will provide your child with UV50+ sun protection but also keep them cool, clothes that keep up with your active child.
Alison is a ‘social entrepreneur who has always been committed to charitable and philanthropic projects. Whilst also working full time as a
Director of an international corporation, Alison spearheaded Allsorts by Ali, a volunteer enterprise comprising of friends and family. This
team handmade, packed, distributed and sold chocolates, with ALL proceeds going to charities and local families in need.
Alison also seeks opportunities to assist business colleagues and friends along the way, providing mentoring, advice and coaching one on one
and in online forums. Alison also has successful business consultancy and is passionate about assisting others follow their passion and reach
their full potential.
Follow your passion, and success will follow you.
-- Arthur Buddhold
Working alongside Alison is lifelong friend Susan Wallis. Who not only supports the sun safe and active living message that drives Alison, but also
has a personal passion for supporting families and children touched by disability, as her own has been. Susan is inspired by a comment
made by Alison, who felt she had a responsibility to advocate for families who could not do so themselves.
Susan combines her customer and communication related role at Agoo, with an active lifestyle and community involvement in areas related to
disability. A board member on two committees, and inspiring guest speaker and presenter in the disability sector, Susan takes her role as an
advocate seriously.
Giving Susan the most joy is combining her commitment to living an active life with fundraising, the goal being to support the organisations that
have assisted her family in their disability journey. Undertaking the Sydney City to Surf fun run along with other team members, Susan has
helped raise almost $10,000 for different organisations in the last 3 years alone. She takes her personal responsibility to stay strong and
healthy seriously, and hopes to inspire parents of other children, especially those of special needs, to do the same.
Social responsibility, and a ‘pay it forward’ attitude, drives Agoo Australia, as demonstrated by fundraising campaigns, joint ventures and
alliances with like minded organisations who share their vision to get kids more active and safer in the sun.
