At Sequal, we’re driven by a simple set of beliefs that underpin our purpose; to ‘give more’. We believe the future is shaped by the opportunities we create for young people, and businesses play a pivotal role in empowering them to reach their potential.<\/p>\n

Blue Light’s mission aligns with our values, providing a safe and supportive environment for young Kiwis to build strong relationships with their peers, police, parents, and community. Their diverse range of activities helps young New Zealanders grow and thrive.<\/p>\n

Last week, 25 young people joined us for our annual Give More Day with Kawerau Blue Light at Whakapapa Ski Field. Shredding the slopes and toboggan runs, we were inspired by their willingness to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. This experience reinforced the impact of our Give More Days \u2013 they build connections and create opportunities for growth, both for the communities we serve and our own team.<\/p>\n

A big thanks to Kawerau Blue Light and their counterparts nationwide: your dedication to empowering young Kiwis is impressive, and we’re stoked to be part of it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
