Community Involvement

At Design Windows Central Otago, we are proud to support local sporting clubs and athletes, community groups, and charitable organisations. As a local business, we believe strongly in giving back and helping the community that supports us.

Our team is involved with a range of initiatives and sponsorships across the region, including support for Hayden Paddon and Paddon Racing Group, Otago Cricket, Wakatipu Cycling Club, Jamie Smith, Bradley Harris and Alexandra Football Club. We are also proud to contribute to important local organisations such as the Breen TradeBase initiative and the Cromwell Volunteer Fire Brigade.

In addition to company sponsorships, our staff participate in a weekly giving initiative. Team members can choose to donate $1 from their weekly pay, and together we vote on which local charity or organisation will receive the funds. It’s a simple way for our team to work together to make a positive impact in our community.
