Our community partners

We are very grateful of the support we receive from our community partners around New Zealand. They provide financial assistance to community services and projects that help us to work towards our aim of every child receiving the best possible start to life.

We’d like to acknowledge and thank all our community partners below. We love working with partners who are just as committed to families as we are. If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a community partner with Plunket please email our team.

The Lion Foundation

Community Partner

The Lion Foundation is a charitable gaming trust that exists to make funds available for any charitable, philanthropic or cultural purpose that offers real and lasting benefits to the community - large or small.

The Lion Foundation and Plunket have been in a partnership at a National level since 2009. A 2009 grant enabled an upgrade of services and resources in Plunket Family Centres in seven areas around New Zealand, and the two organisations have shared values about the importance of support for New Zealand children and families at a community level.

In 2010 the relationship grew to support all of the 18 Plunket areas with funding for additional support and education, including new car seats and extra home visiting support and services
