phil&teds as a company, and as real people, wanted to give back to the community. So collectively, we've developed a heap of initiatives under phil&thropic banner (see what we did there!?)! We love that we can be a part of putting a smile on someone’s face.
Buggies for Good
We take back pre-loved buggies, service them, spruce them up & donate them back into the community to a deserving cause! We've donated to
Ronald McDonald House
, Wellington Foster Carers,
Women's Refuge
,
House of Grave
,
St Kilda Mums
,
True Colours
, and many more. If you have an organisation that we could help, let us know:

phil&teddy Sponsorship
We support New Zealand's
Surgical Research Trust
A phil&teddy friend is given to each child undergoing surgery, to help to put a smile on their face as well as providing a friend to comfort them during a scary time. phil&teddy is there to make children’s’ recovery just that little bit more “bear-able”.
Donate-a-Day
Inspired by the plight of Cantabrians, phil&teds created the
"donate-a-day"
initiative, challenging phil&teds employees to give a day’s annual leave to the phil&teds LOVES Christchurch appeal - we've been a generous bunch! We're still keen to hear from Kiwi Companies wanting to give back!!
phil&teds LOVES Christchurch Appeal
We also held stalls at local fairs - selling phil&teds, Mountain Buggy and mokopuna merino items, with all proceeds going to CHCH. Auctions have been held online selling celeb signed phil&teds stuff, as well as other donations. phil&teds heads cooked for families at Ronald McDonald House, Wellington & took food parcels along too!
In May 2011phil&teds were absolutely stoked to donate all $$$ to the wonderful Ronald McDonald House in Christchurch - they encountered some severe damage, and lost all buggies in the earthquake!
Ronald McDonald House has become an organisation very close to us! We're happy to have helped out house in New Zealand, Australia & the US. |
Sam's (gorgeous son of a phil&teds head), letter donating his fav toy car to a boy who lost everything in the Christchurch earthquake. |
We love getting involved with local activities! And were super excited to donate a sport to the Special Children's Christmas Party earlier this year! |
Windley School support phil&teds CHCH appeal, pretty much all of the staff & kids have mini diddies, with all moolah going to Christchurch rebuild. |
The "Buggies for Good" programme started with Wellington Hospital in 2006 - and we're still helping them out now. |
The wonderful Michelle of Wellington gathered friends' unused, pre-loved buggies & donated them back to phil&teds to be serviced, and re-homed! |
