Giving back to the community
We are actively involved in the community and support a number of initiatives that help those in need, and create a better standard of living for everyone in the community. A major part of our commitment is our ongoing sponsorship of the Child Cancer Foundation - a non profit support network for children with cancer and their families. We are also proud sponsors of:
- the North Shore Hospice Trust
- the Birkenhead-Northcote graffiti removal van.
How we’ve made a difference
The Professionals have been proud supporters of the Child Cancer Foundation since 1995. During this time, Professionals offices and salespeople have raised over $3.2 million. This money has:
- purchased and maintained two Sunshine Lodge Holiday Homes, in Taupo and Queenstown
- purchased a Family Place in Wellington
- helped to purchase a Family Place in Auckland
- helped to purchase a National Centre housing the Child Cancer Foundation
- helped the associated charity CanTeen.
The Sunshine Lodge
Our two Sunshine Lodges provide a haven for children and their families living with cancer. Here families can take time out to relax, spend time together and recuperate in a stress-free environment after the intense emotional time surrounding long periods of treatment. Both lodges are offered free of charge, serviced between guests and totally maintained by the Professionals.
The Family Place
The Family Place drop-in centres are located near the hospitals in Wellington and Auckland. They give cancer sufferers and their families the opportunity to meet, share information and relax in a calm environment away from the hospital.
