Kidney Kids Fundraiser

Over July and August of this year, Council staff took part in a friendly competition among our departments to collect KanTabs (ring pulls from aluminium cans) to raise money for Kidney Kids NZ. While fundraising was the main purpose, the winning team received a lovely home-baked carrot cake from competition organiser, Kate Fleming, Business Support Officer in the Planning department.

All of the departments in Council took part, with the Building Control department taking home the cake after collecting 3.6kg of pull tabs. They were followed closely by the District Assets team with 3.3kg and trailed by the Planning department which collected 0.6kg. Other departments receive an honourable mention for effort…

The KanTabs are dropped off at a recycling plant in Christchurch and the funds raised are then deposited with Kidney Kids NZ.
