Thank you Pub Charity Limited for helping us to build a skilled equestrian community in Whitianga and surrounds!

More than $8.4 million returned to communities across Aotearoa in September. But the real story is what happens next.

This support reached nearly 500 organisations across many sectors of our communities..

For people today, that can mean a child getting onto the field, a whānau finding support when they need it, a learner gaining new opportunities, or a community coming together through shared spaces, activities and experiences.

For the organisations behind that mahi, it helps strengthen programmes, facilities, capability and connection, giving them greater ability to serve their communities now and into the future.

And over time, those benefits travel further. Tamariki grow up with stronger opportunities and a deeper sense of belonging. Rangatahi build confidence and connection. Whānau become stronger. Communities gain the foundations that future generations can continue to build on.

Because when we support communities today, we help create stronger communities for generations to come.
