The season of giving

As the festive season approaches, Christchurch city is buzzing with excitement, filled with visitors attending events, including those being hosted at our venue. This time of the year offers a wonderful opportunity to give back and support those in need - a value our team is proud to uphold.

Each year, our global venue management group, ASM Global, celebrates a “Month of Giving.” This initiative brings team members from around the world together to volunteer and contribute to their local communities, creating a collective impact that supports the people and places we care about.

For International Chefs Day recently, our culinary team joined forces with local chefs to support "Full Bellies," a Christchurch charity that provides nutritious meals to school children. Together, they prepared and donated 560 locally sourced lunches for our tamariki (children), which brought plenty of smiles and glowing reviews!

Our commitment to giving back doesn’t stop there. We’re supporting men’s health through Movember and organising our annual Christmas gift and food drive for community charities.

Giving back can take many forms - volunteering, shopping local, fundraising, preparing meals, or donating items. It’s not about how much you can give, but the impact even small acts of kindness can have on those around us. At Te Pae, we’re proud to contribute to our community and encourage everyone to find their own way to spread generosity this holiday season.
