Giving Back

It aligns Rata Insure with a meaningful cause, enhancing its brand reputation and showcasing its dedication to giving back to the community.

Through this partnership, Rata Insure can make a significant difference in the lives of the children supported by Koru Care, fostering a sense of pride and fulfillment among its employees and stakeholders. Rata Insure exemplifies how businesses can use their resources and influence to make a meaningful impact on the well-being and happiness of others in their community.

Koru Care

Koru Care Christchurch provides special experiences for NZ children with serious and often on going medical conditions and or disabilities by providing opportunities which are educational, fun, personally empowering and a means of further developing their social and life skills set.Koru Care Christchurch, which is a registered Charitable Trust has been active since 1985 and its hardworking passionate committee devote much of their spare time to fundraising and organising events and trips.

Koru Care Christchurch have taken away over 860 deserving young people on our trips.

Such an experience is educational, fun, personally empowering and a means of further developing their social and life skills set. It enables them to forget for a short time their own serious medical problems and enjoy themselves as children should.

It costs $6,000 per child with Air New Zealand sponsoring a seat for each child. In addition to the carer support on the trips, two nurses and a doctor accompany the children, and everyone is required to have travel insurance and fortunately this has never needed to be claimed.

For children unable to travel Air New Zealand has put on special local flights over the past two years on a Dreamliner for the children and their carers.
