At Jani-King, giving back has always been at the heart of who we are. It’s woven into our culture, our partnerships and the way we show up in our communities. Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the privilege of hosting three incredible groups at Auckland FC home games. These moments weren’t just about football. They were about connection, gratitude and celebrating the people who make a difference every single day.
Wairau Valley Special School – A Day Filled With Joy
It was wonderful to see staff and whānau from Wairau Valley Special School enjoying the Auckland FC match against Brisbane, a match that kept everyone on the edge of their seats and finished in a well fought draw.
Wairau Valley Special School are valued partners of Jani-King (NZ), and being able to give back in even a small way is something we’re truly proud of. Watching everyone come together, cheer loudly and soak up the atmosphere made the day even more special.
Moments like these remind us how important it is to stay connected to the communities we serve. It’s not just about offering support, but about creating memories, sharing experiences and building relationships that last.
Starship – Honouring Those Who Give So Much
We were also proud to host some of the incredible staff and their families from Starship at another recent Auckland FC home game. Starship’s dedicated team supports children and families across Aotearoa, and being able to give back to those who give so much felt truly meaningful.
Seeing the smiles, excitement and energy in the stands was uplifting for everyone involved. It was a reminder that even small gestures can go a long way in showing gratitude and building stronger communities.
A huge thank you to the Starship team for joining us, and congratulations to our fantastic partners Auckland FC on a well deserved win.
Our Franchisees at the Heart of It All
These special days are only possible thanks to the hard work and commitment of our franchisees, who embody the spirit of service every day. Their pride in supporting our community partnerships reflects everything Jani-King stands for. Whether they’re delivering outstanding service on site or supporting initiatives like these, their contribution to our Jani King whānau is felt far and wide.
