LOVE LOCAL, GIVE LOCAL | Nurturing Families

Help make Christmas magical for local children! 

This Christmas, LynnMall is proud to support Nurturing Families' Santa Club, helping ensure local children wake up to the joy and excitement of a gift on Christmas morning.

Through our Love Local, Give Local programme, we're inviting our community to donate a new, unwrapped gift for a child or young person. Together, we can help make Christmas a little brighter for families who may be facing challenges this festive season.

Why we’re doing this:
At LynnMall, we believe shopping centres can be more than a place to shop. They can be a place where communities come together to support one another.

Through Love Local, Give Local, we're creating simple and meaningful ways for our customers to support local charities at key times throughout the year. Following the success of our recent community campaign, we're proud to continue giving back by partnering with Nurturing Families and The Santa Club.

About Nurturing Families & The Santa Club:

Nurturing Families supports whānau across Auckland who are experiencing crisis or significant hardship. Working alongside more than 180 frontline agencies and community organisations, they provide tailored Crisis Packs filled with practical items families urgently need.

Each Christmas, this support extends through The Santa Club. Children and young people are nominated by trusted frontline professionals who understand their family’s circumstances, helping ensure donated gifts reach those who may otherwise go without.

For caregivers facing an already difficult Christmas, The Santa Club helps ease some of the pressure while ensuring their children can experience the joy, dignity and magic of receiving something chosen especially for them.
