As a Member owned New Zealand Bank, SBS has the community at its heart. Given this, it’s no wonder that Community initiatives are one of our biggest sponsorship areas! As proud Kiwis we strive every day to do right by our Members and put the heart back into banking whether it’s helping to look after mental health, protect our environment, raise great tamariki or just show some community spirit.

 

 

Ronald McDonald House South Island

Southern Coastal Charitable Trust


The Southern Coastal Charitable Trust work has been organising large scale coastal clean-ups along the Fiordland and Western Island Coasts since 2012 with the aim of keeping our coastlines beautiful and environment clean.

Through this work volunteers have completed seven large clean ups, removing nearly 70 tonnes of rubbish from our pristine coastlines. Due to the remote locations, the cost of the clean-ups is immense, so we are thrilled to be able to do our bit as an official sponsor of the trust.
