Empowering our Community One Initiative at a Time

Supporting Our Community

At Edinburgh Realty, supporting our local community is always at the forefront of our minds. From charity events to supporting local initiatives and businesses, we are proud to be part of the change. We take immense pride in being an integral part of the vibrant Otago region, with offices in Dunedin, Mosgiel, and Cromwell. Our commitment to quality local producers reflects our belief in promoting sustainable practices and showcasing the unique flavours and craftsmanship that Otago has to offer.

One of the ways we demonstrate our dedication is through our specially curated client gift bags, which include a selection of exquisite items from local businesses. We collaborate with outstanding producers, such as:

  • Dale Honey: Known for their premium White Clover Honey, which embodies the rich floral diversity of Otago.
  • Urban Woodwork: Based in Mosgiel, they create beautifully handcrafted wooden products, including our signature Edinburgh Breadboard.
  • Wanaka Chocolate: This chocolatier captures the essence of the region with their handcrafted chocolates.
  • Ollies Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Produced in Central Otago, known for its exceptional quality and robust flavours.
  • Central Otago Wines: Renowned for distinct flavours that reflect our unique land and climate.

By supporting local businesses, we foster a sense of community and shine a light on the incredible talent within our region. When we run competitions with prizes, we do our best to include vouchers from local businesses—it's a simple way to give back while supporting those around us. We also enjoy donating gift bags to various community fundraisers, helping contribute to causes that matter in our region.

At Edinburgh Realty, we recognise that a strong community is built on collaboration and support. Our commitment to local initiatives is unwavering, and we continually seek ways to make a positive impact in the lives of those around us. Together, we can create a brighter future for Otago.

Events and Initiatives we Champion

Events and Initiatives we Champion

Edinburgh Realty Women's Golf Tournament
For several years, we have proudly supported the Otago Community Hospice through the Edinburgh Realty Women's 9-Hole Golf Tournament, held annually at the Otago Golf Club. This fun and vibrant event brings together teams for a great cause, raising vital funds for the hospice. Each year, the tournament grows in spirit, with participants donning creative costumes and enjoying a day of golf, raffles, and auctions.

The event is a highlight in our calendar, and we are grateful for the support of everyone involved, from players to sponsors, who help make a meaningful impact on our community.

Daffodil Day
For many years, we have proudly supported the Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day, with our team volunteering to man a collection stall in the Wall Street Mall. This annual event holds great significance as it raises crucial funds for cancer research, patient support, and education programmes.

Each year, our team embrace the opportunity to engage with the community, spreading hope through the bright yellow daffodils and collecting donations for a cause that touches so many lives. We’re grateful for the support and generosity of everyone who contributes during these events, helping to make a real difference for those affected by cancer.

Octacan
We also support Octacan, Presbyterian Support Otago's annual winter food drive. Our team collects non-perishable food items at our Dunedin office to donate to the city’s busiest food bank, helping local families during the colder months. 

Octacan is a vital initiative, and we're always eager to participate by contributing canned goods and raising awareness. It's a wonderful way for us to give back to our community and ensure that no one goes without during winter.

Mosgiel Bingo Nights
Our Mosgiel team regularly participates in local Bingo nights, supporting various charities and good causes. These events serve as vital fundraisers for organisations such as local rugby teams, cat rescue, the Otago Community Hospice and more.

The enthusiasm and generosity shown at these Bingo nights highlight the strength of our local community. We are proud of our Mosgiel team for making a positive impact and reminding us that even a fun night out can support those in need. Keep up the great work!

Edinburgh Art Awards
For over 16 years, we have proudly supported the Otago Art Society by hosting the Edinburgh Premier Art Awards. This partnership is a cornerstone of our commitment to supporting the arts in Otago and showcasing the incredible talent in our community. At each event, we celebrate the creativity of local artists, providing them with an invaluable platform to display their work, gain recognition, and connect with art enthusiasts.

The exhibition, held at the Dunedin Railway Station, is a highlight in our calendar, and we look forward to continuing this meaningful collaboration for many years to come.

Lifestyle and Farm Expo
For several years, we proudly supported the Lifestyle and Farm Expo—a unique event dedicated to lifestyle property owners and rural enthusiasts. In collaboration with Murrays Veterinary Clinic, the Expo offered practical advice on small-scale farming, with demonstrations on shearing, fencing, beekeeping, and more. Held at the Taieri A&P Showgrounds, it was a fun and educational day out for the whole family, complete with animal petting, horse rides, and the popular Edinburgh Terrier Race.


The Expo was also a great way to support the Otago Rescue Helicopter Trust, with gold coin donations contributing to a vital local cause.
