Our values
Our community
We live here too, and we are proud to be connected in our communities. Through our commitment to supporting local initiatives, we aim to build stronger, healthier communities for everyone.
Our key sponsorship is the Total Life Kids TRYathlon, held in partnership with the Southland Tri Club. Every year we get to see hundreds of kids of all levels participating in a great event that lets them participate, achieve and above all – have fun! In 2021, we celebrated 21 years of supporting the Total Life Kids TRYathlon. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
Historically, our participation in the AMP Scholarship programme, allowed us to help southerners achieve their dreams. Recipients of our scholarship include Corbin Strong (Track and Road Cycling), Trent Anderson (Mountain Safety), Tracy Morris (Child Cancer packs), Tania Clarke (Food Parcels), and Tom Scully (Track Cycling).
In addition to this, we help a number of local organisations such as golf clubs, football clubs and charity events. By investing in our community, we strengthen the connections that make us proud to call New Zealand home.
