Sponsorship

KiwiRail engages with communities in a variety of ways. One of them is through sponsorship of events and activities that have relevance to rail, the people who work in the rail industry and the communities that interact with rail.

One of KiwiRail’s most significant sponsorships is the Chris Cairns Foundation which seeks to raise awareness of safety on the rail network’s level crossings. Further detail about the foundation can be found at www.railsafety.co.nz.

KiwiRail also supports the Rail Heritage Trust of New Zealand which works to maintain records of heritage rail buildings and equipment, and encourage the preservation and restoration of rail heritage. This has included providing assistance to the National Railway Museum at Ferrymead in Christchurch.

Further information will be added to this site shortly on KiwiRail’s sponsorship policy and guidelines.
