Get To Know Our Donors - Beach Energy

A few questions…

Why have you chosen to support Taranaki Community Rugby Trust?
Beach Energy’s unique partnership with the Trust provides an opportunity to support the development of thousands of young boys and girls who are aspiring rugby players in the Taranaki region, and through their involvement with sport, lead to their development and growth as young members of the community.

How long have you been involved with the Trust?
I have been involved with the Trust for 14 plus years since Beach acquired Lattice Energy from Origin Energy in 2018. The partnership gives Beach Energy the opportunity to continue to get the best value from our resources and enables the company to give something back to the Taranaki community in a meaningful and valuable way.

In what areas are you most excited about the Trust making an impact?
Rugby is a core part of Taranaki’s identity, and the partnership is providing children with opportunities to participate that otherwise might not be available. Our support allows clubs to focus on youth needs, as opposed to raising funds. However, it isn’t just about the funds though, sport provides children with key skills and values important to their character development, including teamwork, leadership, respect and discipline.
