Community Impact

Learning has the power to unite and inspire people to take action in their communities. Since 2005 we’ve invested in tackling some of the key issues facing those in need in our community. Helping to create opportunities to build a better life.

We have worked with a number of grassroots organisations, partners and employees throughout New Zealand to create opportunities, nurture our environment and level the playing field.

We’re committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and diversity, and breaking down barriers.

Creating lasting change doesn’t happen alone or overnight. We partner with charities and organisations dedicated to advancing this.
