Fegusson Park Clean-Up with ASB

For several years, the Holland Beckett Community Committee has championed acts of service and financial support to give local charities and community groups a hand up. One way we do this is through our Payroll Giving initiative - an easy, stress-free opportunity for our people to give back to the community. How it works Our people can opt in to take part in the payroll giving scheme, contributing a small amount from their regular pay. Holland Beckett\'s Partners generously match these contributions dollar for dollar. Each quarter, the accumulated funds are donated to a chosen cause, determined by nominations and voting by our team. To share the love across the Bay of Plenty, nominations may be limited to Tauranga, Rotorua, or Whakatāne-based organisations in different quarters. The charity with the most votes receives the payroll giving donation - currently just over $2800 each quarter. 2025 Payroll Giving Recipients We are proud to share a little about the wonderful charities and community groups that received our 2025 quarterly donations: Q1 - RRR | Rescue Revive Rehome RRR is a not-for-profit animal rescue organisation dedicated to providing a safe haven for homeless and rescued animals until a responsible, loving home is found. RRR relies on fosters, volunteers, donations and fundraisers to provide a safe home for the many animals that come though their doors. Some RRR dogs have been rehomed with Hobecians, and one of our team regularly fosters dogs needing a safe, comfortable space to recover from surgery or trauma before adoption. RRR - Rescue. Revive. Rehome. Q2 - Te Wāhi Whakaora | Rotorua and District Women\'s Refuge Te Wāhi Whakaora assists women, children, and whānau experiencing family violence in Rotorua and surrounding areas through support, advocacy, education and awareness. Holland Beckett\'s Lucy Vala-Blackmore is on the board of Te Wāhi Whakaora. As a Rotorua local and Family Lawyer, she is proud to give back to the wāhine in her community. Te Wāhi Whakaora Rotorua and District Women’s Refuge Q3 - Whakatāne Kiwi Trust Whakatāne Kiwi Trust works to protect our precious kiwi and other native species in the Whakatāne region - the \'Kiwi Capital of the World™\'. The Trust manages pest control programmes, and volunteers are actively involved in predator trapping, kiwi monitoring, education, public events and fundraising. Holland Beckett is also proud to sponsor the Kiwi Trust and to support solicitor Jayden McNeil in his role as a trustee. Whakatāne Kiwi Trust Q4 - MAMA | Massage after Miscarriage Aotearoa MAMA provide a simple gesture of comfort, care and compassion - restorative massage or facials - for women following a miscarriage or stillbirth. Losing a baby at any stage in pregnancy is heartbreaking and recovery is both a physical and emotional journey. Through generous contributions of services, products, and monetary support (including our payroll giving donations) MAMA provides healing experiences to support grieving mothers in need of solace after loss. Massage After Miscarriage Tauranga We’re proud of our team for embracing our payroll giving initiative and supporting a wide range of organisations that make a real difference in our communities. Their contributions help these groups extend their reach and provide vital support to those who need it most. We also set aside a small portion of the payroll giving funds for community days, where our teams roll up their sleeves and support causes close to their hearts with hard mahi! It might mean buying paint and brushes to refresh a tired playcentre, or native plants to replant waterways and dunes. And at Christmas, any remaining funds in the payroll giving piggy bank are donated to another charity, such as the Tauranga Community Foodbank.

​Holland Beckett has a long history of supporting the Bay of Plenty communities that have supported us, and one of our longstanding traditions has been donating our TECT rebates to the Tauranga Community Foodbank. This tradition began in 2009 during the global financial crisis, when many families were struggling and the Foodbank needed extra resources to help those in need - especially in the lead-up to Christmas. That year, we donated our rebate of just over $1,000 to assist during the holiday season. What started as a one-off gesture has continued for 16 years. To date, Hobec has donated more than $32,800 in TECT rebates to the Tauranga Community Foodbank. One of Holland Beckett\'s core values is: Champions of our Communities We bring positive impact to those around us. We are supportive inclusive and generous. Our TECT rebate initiative is one way we live this value.  Over time, it has become a meaningful contribution that helps ease hardship and shows how small acts of generosity can make a big impact.

We are excited to start Holland Beckett’s next chapter in the new Northern Quarter building in Tauranga CBD. Our new Tauranga office address is: Northern Quarter Level 2 45 The Strand Tauranga Parking at Northern Quarter: We have some client parking available onsite.
