Many of you will know that I have moved further into the Philanthropic space. After my wonderful training at the Champion Foundation Trust I am delighted to advise that I am working for the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust as their Partnerships Manager. After four weeks I am realising how incredibly important their work is and how amazing the team is to work with.
With my old love of the environment and my history with the Peninsula I am delighted to be giving back. So you may see some posts of me out in the field with the team but mostly talking to like minded amazing people about support. I promise the love and thanks will be there if you do!
Here I am first day on the job at the Craws Farm in Little Akaloa with Josh and James from our on Farm Biodiversity Programme team and then on an amazing walk with volunteers and the team to Stony Bay.
Weddings and events will always be a special part of my life and there will be space for a few so please do get in touch always for advice and planning!

For two years now and booked for 2025 I have had the pleasure of working for the NZIOB Charitable Education Trust with their luncheon events. It is a pleasure to work for such organisations! “Emma looked after our budget, booked the venue, engaged caterers, created an event plan leading up to and including the day and so much more which ensured the event ran like clockwork. We have been so impressed by how things have gone we will look to engage her for our 2024 event.”

Happy memories of Paige and Connor’s wedding at in March. An amazing line up of suppliers for a charming couple and family. Now featured in a wonderful resource! Very kind words from the MOB to me:
“I loved your commitment, communication and being on top of every aspect of the project. I love the way you read the room and ensure that everyone is happy with their roles and have what they need to perform to their best, which is exactly what they did.”

It's Public Wills week!

Wills Week is this week 15-21 July. This year, New Zealanders are being encouraged to make or update their will and, after taking care of family and friends, consider including a charitable gift.

Public Trust Chief Executive Glenys Talivai says making a bequest is a way people can create a lasting legacy. “Your will is not only important for planning for the future. Leaving a gift in your will can be a wonderful and meaningful way to give back to the causes, charities and community organisations in that matter most to you.”

Have a think about where you can make a difference! I am of course reaching out for the the The Champion Centre and Champion Foundation! A local, inspiring organisation where your money would do so much good. Champions Alumni

Every Kiwi should make a will and have a say in how your estate should be distributed. Start yours online today to ensure the people and things you love are taken care of after you’re gone.
