ASB is dedicated to supporting KidsCan, who are working to ensure children in need can focus on learning, regardless of their family circumstances.
Whether it's supporting health and mental wellbeing, or those affected by natural disasters, we're proud to partner with organisations like Youthline, Hato Hone St John, KidsCan, and New Zealand Red Cross, who are doing incredible work for our communities. We're also helping young Kiwi learn money skills through ASB GetWise. We back New Zealand Rugby, and sponsor events like ASB Polyfest and the ASB Classic tennis tournament.
Youthline
Youthline supports young Kiwis aged 12-24 throughout New Zealand offering a free helpline service (via text, phone, webchat & email), counselling and youth mentoring programmes. ASB is Youthline's principal partner, helping to ensure every young person knows it's okay to seek help and that Youthline is available 24/7 to offer support for free.
