We are super proud to be supporting charitable trust, KidsCan to help kids in need with food, clothing and health items at school. Join us in making a difference this month by donating a coin when you next visit our store. The coin donation boxes are located at the checkout.

Hungry, wet, cold and stressed is no way to start the school day (if it doesn’t stop them from getting to school) but for over 295,000 Kiwi children living in hardship that is the reality. This can impact their educational growth and lead to a lifelong pattern of underachievement. There is a way to break this cycle; by providing simple things like food, shoes, socks and raincoats, so kids can arrive at school ready and able to learn. KidsCan's aim is to prevent children in hardship from becoming adults in hardship by giving them the start in life they deserve.
