Supporting Our Local Heroes & Community Connections

Backing Our Local Volunteer Fire Brigade

We are honoured to sponsor and support our local Kumeu volunteer Fire Brigade. These men and women dedicate their time and energy to protecting our families, homes, and businesses, often at great personal sacrifice. Sponsoring them is our way of giving back to those who give so much. And of course, as Podiatrists, we know just how important it is for them to stay on their feet during long, demanding hours of service. Healthy feet help keep our local heroes strong and ready to respond.

Standing Behind Community Patrol CPNZ

We are equally proud to support the Community Patrols of New Zealand (CPNZ) Norwest team. Their presence provides an extra layer of safety in our neighbourhoods, deterring crime and lending a hand when people need it most. Supporting their work also means helping these volunteers stay mobile, active, and on their feet while patrolling our community.

Connecting at the Kumeu Market

On Sunday 20th July, our team attended the Kumeu Market to connect directly with local families. We offered foot health education, awareness, and advice. It was wonderful to answer questions, share knowledge, and meet so many people from our community in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Why We Do It

Community support isn’t just an add-on for us, it’s at the heart of how we operate. By sponsoring local heroes like our Fire brigade and CPNZ, and by showing up at events like the Kumeu Markets, we’re reinforcing our belief that healthcare is about people, relationships, and shared responsibility.

Whether it’s volunteers on their feet for long shifts, kids playing sports, or patients managing chronic conditions, good foot health helps our community stay safe, active, and thriving.

We look forward to continuing these initiatives, strengthening connections, and doing our part to keep our community moving forward. We have more exciting community support initiatives planned.
