At Shining Peak, we’re strong believers that every business should have a social mission at its core. Our mission is for our beer to make the world a better place.
Every month 5% of our beer revenues from our venues, are donated to a different New Zealand organisation. Not profits…… revenues, that’s approximately 30 to 50% of our venues profit – we give away to local organisations each and every month. No terms and conditions, no small print – we just put the money straight into the back pockets of important local organisations and charities across New Zealand.
Drink Beer, Do Good.
This month in Taranaki - Nature Connection Trust
Trails & Tots is a Taranaki-based initiative delivered by The Nature Connection Trust, focused on connecting whānau with the outdoors and creating meaningful opportunities for families to spend time in nature together.
While their weekly Trails & Tots sessions are at the heart of what they do, the programme sits within a wider kaupapa of supporting wellbeing, building confidence in the outdoors, and strengthening relationships between parents, caregivers, tamariki, and the natural environment. Through accessible, community-led experiences, they help whānau feel more connected to each other and to Taranaki taiao.
In a busy world, these moments in nature matter. For many families, Trails & Tots offers a chance to slow down, explore, learn, and simply enjoy being outside together in a supportive, welcoming space.
This month, through Shining Peak Brewery’s Drink Beer, Do Good programme, 5% of all beer revenue will be donated to support Trails & Tots and The Nature Connection Trust.
Funds raised will help continue and grow their free weekly sessions, ensuring more Taranaki whānau can access nature-based experiences, strengthen wellbeing, and build lasting connections through time outdoors. It also supports their wider work in promoting kaitiakitanga and fostering a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
Trails & Tots is made possible through community support and local collaboration, helping keep these opportunities open and accessible for families across the region.
So this month, every pint helps more whānau step into nature together.
