🎄✨ We loved seeing the smiles at the Special Children's Christmas Party in Auckland! Kids were thrilled to receive their very own RRT Lego-Style Brick Sets, and we were proud to provide lunch for all attendees. 💛🧱🍔
These amazing events create magical memories for children living with disabilities, serious illnesses, or facing tough circumstances. 💙#rrtcares Special Children's Christmas Parties NZ

🚒🔥 Last night, RRT was proud to support the hardworking Fire and Emergency NZ crews battling a scrub fire in Taheke by providing a well-deserved evening meal.
These brave firefighters put everything on the line to protect our communities, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to give back in any way we can. 💛
Thank you for your dedication and service! 🙌 #RRTCares Northland - Fire and Emergency
