'Winning the Community Engagement Award was the real boost we needed. It meant so much for our team to feel seen. Our staff put their heart and soul into what we do, and this recognition has put wind in their sails. It's energised us to keep building meaningful community programmes, continue investing sweat equity into our Coastal Conservation Fund, and finding ways to connect locals with their waterways around Auckland.'
