Our focus is helping children and young people within the Hamilton and Waikato area. We provide support for many people and organisations delivering programmes, goods and services to benefit local tamariki, such as:
– our local community centres, which provide kai, run school holiday programmes including for kids in emergency housing, and offer a huge range of front-line support and outreach services
– local schools, supporting lunch programmes making sure students receive nutritious meals and helping out with stationery and uniforms so kids don’t go without
– local charities like Kids in Need and Gabby’s Starlit Hope, which provide direct support for children and their whānau
Our trustees are all McCaw Lewis staff members who, along with the wider McCaw Lewis whānau, are committed to making a meaningful impact in our community.

Happy and Healthy Waikato Tamariki.
To support people and organisations helping to improve the lives of children and young people in our community. We do this quickly and directly, responding to voices which might otherwise go unheard.
Our work will be underpinned by our values of Empathy, Honesty and Compassion.
