A group of adults and children pose inside a car dealership showroom while holding an oversized donation cheque. Some of the group stand behind the cheque, while others sit or kneel on the floor in front. Cars are displayed on both sides of the showroom, and large windows in the background reveal more vehicles outside. The atmosphere appears friendly and celebratory.

Supporting Charities

Our team fundraises across the year and regularly chooses a different local charity to support. This way, we’re impacting a range of organisations who, in their own way, are all working to make South Canterbury a bit better.

South Canterbury Rugby

Our team loves giving back to the clubs where so many of us fell in love with the game. As a principal sponsor of South Canterbury Rugby, South Canterbury Toyota is providing our young people with access to all the benefits of exercise and teamwork. 

As part of our ongoing commitment, we provide South Canterbury Rugby with two Hilux SR5 Cruisers and two RAV4s to help with their day-to-day operations, plus their player outreach, school visits, and programme delivery across the wider South Canterbury region.

Already, South Canterbury Rugby is seeing an uptick in membership across all grades. The women’s senior division has grown from one team to three, with more teams expected in coming seasons. We know how important our grassroots rugby clubs are for producing future All Blacks and Black Ferns.

Women Can Do Car Maintenance

Everyone should feel confident getting behind the wheel of their car, and getting on the road.

In partnership with South Canterbury Road Safety and Zonta Timaru, our team regularly runs hands-on workshops that empower women with essential car maintenance and skills in a fun and supportive environment
