Know a community group that needs a helping hand?
Check out Closed for Good run by the BNZ. On Wednesday 23 August all the branches and offices close for one day so staff can go out and volunteer in their communities.
You don’t need to be a BNZ customer so if you know of any charities, sports clubs, schools or community groups that need a hand they can apply at www.closedforgood.org...
Also on offer on the day are financial literacy workshops for schools so get your kids’ school to apply too!
