St John Christchurch
Over the past 12 months, residents and staff here at Alpine View have been fundraising to raise money for St John Christchurch.
This week we were delighted to handover a total donation of $21,044.70.
Thank you to all residents and staff at Alpine View as well as the greater local community for getting involved and helping us support this great cause.
Residents and staff vote on a charity to support each year so we are all in agreement. St John was a huge standout and won by overwhelming majority, being a company that everyone needs at some point in their life, we were thrilled to get behind them.
It's been a busy year with a huge range of fundraising events and activities including a garden and craft sale, music concerts, staff car wash and, most recently, Tour de Alpine - our fundraising bike-a-thon. As promised, at the end of the 12 months, Alpine View Management matched the amount raised taking our grand total over $21k!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
