Giving back has always been in our DNA. From the very beginning, we supported local organisations and producers right in our own backyard. That’s why it was a no-brainer to become the inaugural sponsor for the Kāpiti Kindness Trust. Since the initiative launched in July 2020, we have donated gift boxes for their monthly kindness […]
