Craigs Christmas Giving targets seasonal challenges

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Each year Craigs Investment Partners donates a total of $150,000 through its Christmas Giving initiative to a range of charitable groups across the country.

The investment firm places immense value on supporting the local communities it’s a part of, so community giving is very much in the fabric of their business. Founder Neil Craig was instrumental in creating the Christmas Giving programme.

“Our local Craigs branches work with the Community Foundation in their area to determine where our donations will be best put to use. Their community insight is invaluable to ensure our donations will have the biggest impact for our local charities,” says Neil.

Momentum Waikato, the region’s community foundation, enjoys this annual Christmas quest alongside its investment partners – we love honouring and connecting with hard-working frontline community groups to get useful sums into their hands with minimum fuss and effort.

This year six groups across the Waikato have received grants from Craigs Christmas Giving, a diverse range of charitable organisations that are particularly busy during the holiday season, including the Special Children's Christmas Parties pictures below.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
