Crown Relocations is NZ’s leading moving company.
At Crown Relocations, one important feature that sets us apart from our competitors is our commitment to our Corporate Social Responsibility programme. This is an integral part of our worldwide workplace culture and even more so within our New Zealand business.
We foster a belief within our entire team, that volunteering is an important part of life. To that end, we have an active volunteering policy that allows our staff to use paid time off to help with community projects in their own region.
As a company, we regard assisting those less fortunate than ourselves as a privilege and an opportunity and we are all very passionate about this.
Overall, we actively support the following charitable organisations both with monetary contributions and donations of things that they may need to continue their charitable work. These include:
Here’s just a selection of the things that we’ve done to support our charities of choice.
We are proud to support the work that Ronald McDonald House does by sponsoring a family room at Domain House in Grafton. This provides accommodation for families that have sick children in the hospital for extended periods of time.
Domain House is a special place that offers the comforts of home with a community feel. Our sponsorship pays for the upkeep of one of the rooms to ensure that the room is always clean, freshly painted and furnished so that the families who stay there have a safe and comfortable place to call home for as long as they need it.
In one year alone, through our sponsorship, we were able to provide 63 families from across New Zealand with free accommodation for a total of 193 nights. But, that’s not all we do for Ronald McDonald House.
Here’s a selection of other initiatives that we’ve taken part in:
The family dinner programme at RMHC is a regular event and many of our staff members are keen to assist in preparing and serving meals whenever they can.
Our community partnership with the NZ Salvation Army began way back in 2012. Since that time, we’ve formed a highly productive partnership with the charity including our relocation Priority Box where we encourage our customers to donate tins of food and other goods.
This allows us to donate around 2,000 cartons of essential food and other items to the Sallies food banks and family stores every year.
Other programmes that we’ve developed to help the Sallies include:
All of this has resulted in the Sallies presenting Crown NZ with their ‘Valued Partner’ award. We’re proud to say that we are one of only five companies to receive this award in NZ since the Sallies inception in 1883.
Our loyal customers already know that we have a strong sustainability culture within our company. Over the past few years, we worked together with FreeForAll to rescue products from landfill that could still be put to good use.
This has allowed the charity to make donations of essential goods such as clothing, furniture and toys to people who struggle to be able to purchase these items for their families.
Items that we’ve donated to FreeForAll include:
All of these items have come from our relocation customers who were moving house and no longer needed these goods. Rather than taking these items to the tip, Crown Relocations has taken them off their hands so that they can be given to people who need them the most.
Through the work that we do with FreeForAll, we’re able to help many people in need to get the items that they simply can’t afford to buy. Plus, we’re helping the planet by reducing the amount of products that end up in landfill. It’s truly a win-win for everyone concerned.
Our staff at Crown Relocations are proud to support the many fund-raising activities by the Breast Cancer Foundation that raises funds to support scientific research into cancer treatments.
One such event is the Pink Ribbon Walk which sees our staff from our Auckland and Christchurch offices join in an annual 10km walk and fundraising event to collect donations for the charity.
At Crown Relocations, we’re proud of the work that we do with our chosen charities and we’re sure that you will be happy to know how our efforts help to give back to the community we live and work in.
