Giving back is at the heart of our community! 💙

​We just wrapped up an incredible 10x10 event in New Plymouth, and we are blown away by the generosity of our attendees. Thanks to everyone who joined us, live pitches turned into direct funding for three incredible local charities doing vital work in the region.

​Moments like these remind us why we host 10x10 events at Perpetual: when people come together around a shared purpose, individual contributions add up to create real, lasting change.

​A massive thank you to all the attendees who donated, to our inspiring featured charities, and to the vibrant New Plymouth community for hosting us so warmly.

🐧 Protecting New Zealand's precious wildlife
We're proud to support organisations making a meaningful difference in our communities.

Through the Perpetual Charitable Fund of Otago, funding was recently provided to The Wildlife Hospital Trust to assist with the purchase of an oxygen machine, helping support the treatment and recovery of native wildlife.

Our team had the opportunity to see some of the incredible animals benefiting from the hospital's work, including hoiho/yellow-eyed penguins and kākāpō.

A huge thank you to the dedicated team at the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital for their ongoing commitment to protecting and rehabilitating New Zealand's unique native wildlife.

💙 Together, we can make a lasting difference.
