Proudly supporting Kiwis and their communities

We are proudly locally owned, and part of the local community, so we like to lend a helping hand to charity and not-for-profit groups.

We do this in a practical way, like building decks and sheds, making over gardens and playgrounds, painting walls and laying floors.

Nominate a Community Project

Is your school’s playground on the slide? Maybe your rugby club needs a new deck or the charity office you volunteer at needs a paint job.

If you know of a worthy group that has a DIY project needing to be completed, nominate them now.

Nominations close 9th August, 2020 11.59pm.

One or more projects up to the total prize value of $50,000 will be chosen by Mitre 10 to be completed by the end of September 2020.

And if you are the first to nominate a winning Community project, we’ll give you a $250 Mitre 10 Gift Card.

Entry is open to NZ community groups only.

Westpac Trust Helicopter Charity House Auction

Mitre 10 MEGA Nelson partnered with construction firm Gibbons Naylor and a group of local organisations to raise funds for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust (NMRHT) by building a house to be sold for charity.

Garden Makeover for Retired Couple

A retired couple, Mr and Mrs Wootton, reached out to Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead asking for help with their old, rotting garden beds. Due to disabilities this was not a task that they could take on themselves, so Mitre 10 Helping Hands came to the rescue and re-did the garden beds for them.

Summer Crops for Marton Community Garden

Marton Community Garden is a valuable resource for the town’s residents. It provides free fresh food for those who need it and helps the locals feel part of the community. Anyone can gather food from the garden, without obligation, and anyone who wants to can work in it.

Georgetown Scout Hall Reno

The Georgetown Scouts needed a helping hand to tidy up an old hall they use for meetings. With the hall in desperate need of updating, Mitre 10 MEGA Invercargill called in our builder mate Stan Scott and partnered up with the local MediaWorks radio station for a muck-in.

Framing Community Leader's Vision

Athol Sanson was Rangitikei’s parks and reserves boss and the instigator of a 20-year reforestation project to improve water quality in Marton’s dams and prioritise community engagement.

Keeping East Coast Rugby Alive

With a helping hand from local tradies, apprentices, plenty of sponsorship, and a burst of support from Mitre 10 Trade Gisborne, the team that keeps rugby alive on the East Coast were finally able to move into their new office.

Beautifying Memory Lane

Mitre 10 MEGA Dunedin has long been a supporter of the Otago Community Hospice, and this year lent a helping hand to refurbish the hospice’s Memorial Walkway, a beautiful garden where people can spend quiet, quality time remembering loved ones.

Helping Local Christchurch Schools

Taking a stand against bullying, Mitre 10 MEGA Hornby & Papanui gave a helping hand to the students at Merrin School to paint a Friendship Seat - a seat for children to sit on if they are feeling lonely or sad.

Westport School Playground & Garden

Mitre 10 Westport helped Westport North School return its playground and garden to its former glory after Cyclone Fehi and a King Tide swell ripped through it in 2018. The result was an incredible transformation valued at $80,000 that the kids and school loved.
