We're helping children thrive with Variety

At AA Insurance we care about the things you care about, like helping young New Zealanders to thrive. That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with Variety – the Children’s Charity to help more children and young people enjoy a happy, healthy childhood.

Every day, 1 in 5 young New Zealanders go without the basics. This has a profound effect on their health, education, and self-esteem. Variety helps children thrive by enabling them to access the same opportunities as other kids, laying the foundations for a better future.

Variety provides invaluable support to our tamariki through their flagship Kiwi Kid Sponsorship and grants programme which is tailored to meet the immediate needs of each individual child and provides funding for clothing, shoes, bedding, school uniforms, stationery, school camp, sport and extracurricular activities.

Over the course of our partnership, we will work with Variety to help deliver their purpose of ‘Enabling all children and young people to thrive in Aotearoa New Zealand’.

“It is only by working in partnership that we can affect real change and make a material difference to the lives of young New Zealanders and their whānau, so we’re delighted to work with AA Insurance,” says Susan Glasgow, CEO of Variety. “There is an obvious synergy between the aspirations of our values-aligned organisations and a shared commitment to New Zealand and its people. I know that, by working together, we can enable children and young people to thrive in Aotearoa New Zealand.”

We look forward to supporting Variety’s existing programmes of work and collaborating on research to understand how we can work together to make a real difference to young New Zealanders and their whānau.
