Help santa visit every child this christmas by giving to our tamamutu tree of kindness

Written By Kim Manunui

While you may think it’s a bit too early for Christmas decorations to go up, it’s never too early to start thinking about Charity, especially as the festive season draws near.

We want to spread kindness, joy and a little extra love throughout our community during the festive season. Together with our office buddies Legaseed, Onla, Taupo & Turangi News, and Seonaid Abernethy, we have put together a fundraising effort, via the Kindness Collective. We have a tree up in the foyer of our shared office and are encouraging donations of gifts, which will be distributed via the Kindness Collective. 


What is the Kindness Collective?

Founded in 2013, the Kindness Collective began as a behind-the-scenes community group with friends and family on a mission to make Aotearoa a kinder place for all. Every Kiwi deserves to thrive, but should at the very least have the basics; food, clothing, shelter, and safety.

The reality is poverty and family violence statistics continue to climb. So that’s where the Kindness Collective comes in; they provide practical and tangible support through six nationwide programmes. They’re community-led and their work is varied; each week they package boxes of clothes or food, plant potatoes, and more. Their unique approach means they go where the need is and help where it matters most.

What’s the Giving Tree?

The giving tree is an initiative for businesses, organisations, schools, and/or clubs to set up and invite community to donate new, unwrapped gifts to a nominated location. These gifts will be given to those most in need this Christmas.


How can you be involved.

We invite you to tap into your inner Santa Claus, dig into your charitable Christmas spirit and deliver some new, unwrapped gifts to us at:

4 Tamamutu Street, upstairs in our main foyer, before Friday 5 December

If you’re stuck for ideas, you can always donate a cash amount of your choosing HERE.

By supporting this initiative, you’re helping us make Christmas brighter for those in need and reminding everyone that the true spirit of the season is found in giving.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
