Many kiwi kids come from families who simply don’t have the resources to participate in activities that improve their overall wellbeing – be it sports, school events, the arts, music, cultural experiences, education, or even essential medical care. That’s where Make It Happen steps in.

Established in 2013 by Warren Perriam (yes, that Warren) and Richard Sprott (at the time of Saunders & Co), the Make It Happen Charitable Trust steps in to bridge this gap. A portion of every client fee from Perriam & Partners and Saunders & Co is directed into the Trust, creating a fund dedicated to helping local children access the opportunities they deserve. To date, the Trust has approved grants totalling over $235,000.

Our focus and the most important question we ask ourselves is … will our support make a difference?
