Charities we support
We work with a selection of charities and social enterprises throughout the Canterbury region who are showcased below.
Southern Cancer Society
The Southern Cancer Society is the leading cancer support organisation in the South Island, dedicated to reducing the impact of cancer for individuals, whanau and communities. They provide vital support services including accommodation at the Canterbury Cancer Centre, fund life-saving research, and advocate for a future with less cancer. With 1 in 3 Kiwis receiving a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime this charity is relevant for many New Zealanders.
Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock is an organisation which sits somewhere on the scale between a fully commercial business and charity. Although they trade to generate an income, they are driven by both their social and environmental values, which means this income is re-invested right back into their social mission: leveraging business excellence to show their community the true value and skill of people with an intellectual disability.
Te Rangatahi Tumanako Trust
The Te Rangatahi Tumanako Trust (The Youth Hope Trust) was established with a vision to help guide young people into hopeful and fulfilling lives. The Trust provides one on one mentoring and support for young people to guide them through difficult points in their lives and also provides motivational support and training to professionals working with young people.
The Maia Health Foundation
The Māia Health Foundation is on a mission to enhance the health experience in Canterbury – taking it from good to great. They work to raise funds for essential projects to help New Zealanders get the right care, at the right time and in the right place. Their current project is to fund a modern, fit-for-purpose outpatient facility for Child and Youth Mental Health in the Canterbury region.
