Little Ray of Giving
This Christmas, Ray White Metro will continue its popular tradition of giving with the return of a little Ray of giving.
The inspiring Christmas campaign will see us partnering with Ronald McDonald House to help children and their families who may need a little extra light in their festive season.
We ask all those who are willing to embrace the giving season and dig deep for families in their community who need it most and donate a gift for a deserving child or family member and drop it into our office.
The campaign will officially launch in Australia and New Zealand on 1 December 2016.
This gift drive is a really simple way to help put a smile on the face of children and families who may need some extra cheer at this time of year!
All you need to do is wrap up your present and drop it under the tree at one of our offices below:
Church Corner - Cnr Waimairi & Riccarton Roads, Upper Riccarton
Halswell - 488 Sparks Road, Halswell
Wigram - Unit 4a, 1 Stark Drive, Wigram

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
