Kiwi Coaches Proudly Sponsors the Stuff Special Christmas Party in Auckland
At Kiwi Coaches, we often say that we’re more than a bus and coach company — we’re part of the communities we serve. That belief was brought to life in the most meaningful way last Saturday when we were proud and delighted to sponsor the Stuff Special Christmas Party here in Auckland.
This extraordinary event, organised by Stuff, brought together families from right across Auckland for a day of celebration, inclusion, and festive joy. For our team at Kiwi Coaches, it was an absolute privilege not only to sponsor the event, but to attend in person, meet families face-to-face, and be part of something genuinely special.

A Christmas Event That Truly Matters
The Stuff Special Christmas Party is not just another festive gathering. It is a carefully created, deeply thoughtful event designed to support families, bring smiles to children, and ensure that everyone — regardless of circumstance — can experience the magic of Christmas.
From the moment our team arrived, it was clear that this was something special. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of excitement. Children’s laughter echoed across the venue, parents connected with one another, and volunteers worked tirelessly to make sure every family felt included and valued.
As a local, family-owned business, these are the moments that remind us why community-focused events matter so much.
Kiwi Coaches: A Proudly Family-Owned Auckland Business
Kiwi Coaches is a New Zealand family-owned and operated bus and coach company, proudly based in Auckland and serving communities nationwide. While much of our work focuses on transport — from school services and charters to events, tourism, and group travel — our roots have always been firmly planted in community values.
We don’t see ourselves as just a supplier.
We see ourselves as a community partner.
Sponsoring the Stuff Special Christmas Party reflects the values that guide our business every day:
Supporting families and children
Giving back to the communities that support us
Being present, engaged, and accountable
Using our success to create positive social impact
A Day of Connection, Smiles, and Shared Stories
One of the most rewarding parts of the day for our Kiwi Coaches team was the chance to interact directly with families from across Auckland. We spoke with parents, grandparents, caregivers, and children — all with their own stories, backgrounds, and journeys.
There is something incredibly grounding about stepping away from the depot, the roads, and the daily logistics of transport, and instead spending time listening, connecting, and sharing in moments of joy.
For our drivers, operations team, and office staff who attended, it was a reminder that the work we do every day supports real people, real families, and real lives.
Why Community Sponsorship Is Core to Kiwi Coaches
Community sponsorship is not a marketing exercise for us — it’s a responsibility we take seriously.
As a transport company, we are uniquely positioned to support:
Community and charity events
School initiatives and family programmes
Inclusive celebrations that bring people together
Events that may otherwise struggle to secure funding or logistical support
We believe that successful local businesses have a duty to reinvest locally. That means supporting events that strengthen social connections, celebrate diversity, and create lasting positive memories.
The Stuff Special Christmas Party is a perfect example of an initiative that aligns with our ethos: practical help, delivered with dignity, compassion, and care.
Supporting Auckland Families at Christmas
Christmas can be a joyful time — but it can also be a challenging period for many families. Events like this play a crucial role in ensuring that no one feels left out of the season’s celebrations.
Seeing families relax, enjoy themselves, and simply be together was incredibly moving. The smiles on children’s faces and the gratitude expressed by parents reinforced why partnerships between community organisations and local businesses are so important.
Kiwi Coaches is proud to have played even a small part in making that possible.
Stronger Communities Through Local Partnerships
We would like to acknowledge the incredible work done by Stuff, event organisers, volunteers, and partner organisations who made the Special Christmas Party such a success. These events don’t happen without dedication, planning, and genuine care.
At Kiwi Coaches, we strongly believe in collaboration over competition when it comes to community wellbeing. When media, charities, volunteers, and local businesses work together, the impact is far greater than any one organisation acting alone.
Looking Ahead: Our Ongoing Commitment to Community
As we look toward the future, Kiwi Coaches remains firmly committed to supporting:
Charitable organisations
Community-led events
Schools and youth programmes
Inclusive initiatives that bring people together
Whether it’s through sponsorship, transport support, or simply showing up and getting involved, we are always looking for ways to give back.
Community engagement is not seasonal for us — it’s year-round.
A Heartfelt Thank You
To everyone who attended the Stuff Special Christmas Party, and to those who worked behind the scenes to make it happen — thank you. Thank you for welcoming our team, for sharing your stories, and for allowing Kiwi Coaches to be part of such a meaningful day.
From all of us at Kiwi Coaches, we wish you and your families a safe, joyful, and very Merry Christmas.
