Local Giving at Christmas

Craigs Investment Partners is once again putting local giving at the heart of Christmas, with the local branch choosing to support the Cancer Society Gisborne East Coast Fund held with Sunrise through Craigs’ nationwide Workplace Giving programme. 

Across New Zealand, Craig’s employees take part in the initiative, supporting charities and community organisations in the regions where they live and work.

This Christmas, the Gisborne branch has chosen to direct its local contribution to the Cancer Society fund, helping create an ongoing source of support for its work in our region. 

“Fleur Gardiner, Craigs Investment Advisor says the team chose the Cancer Society because “it relies on grants and donations from our community, and its work touches so many local families. Cancer impacts families across Tairāwhiti, and we're pleased to support a fund that will provide lasting benefits for the organisation and the people it helps.” 

It’s a great example of how local businesses and their teams can make a difference. Across Tairāwhiti there are so many organisations doing incredible work, often with volunteers at their backbone, and securing the funding they need can be an ongoing challenge. 

With Christmas approaching, perhaps your workplace could consider doing something similar. Rather than traditional staff or client gifts, businesses could choose a local cause that has a fund with Sunrise that means something to their team, and donate together. 

For those looking for a meaningful Christmas gift, Sunrise Gift Certificates are another option. You choose which Sunrise fund benefits, and certificates can be made out for any amount. They’re a great stocking filler and, because donations to Sunrise are invested for the long term, it’s a gift that will keep giving for generations. Click here to learn more.
