Social Enterprise

A key challenge for any charity to function well and keep achieving its goals for many years to come are regular, reliable finances. While we are grateful recipients of community, council and private donor grants we know it is also important to find sustainable ways to finance our projects. This is where our Social Enterprise businesses come in – The Kai Kart and Well Cut Lawns.

Both of these businesses contribute much needed funds to the 4 A Better City projects, while also providing further opportunities for staff on our MSD Employment Program.

A social enterprise is any business with a clear social mission or purpose that generates revenue to advance those aims.

The Kai Cart

The Kai Kart is proudly owned and operated by the 4 A Better City Trust.  So, each time you purchase a barista-made coffee, tasty smoothie or yummy sandwich from the cart you are also supporting the 4 A Better City Trust vision.

Well Cut Lawns are your local, experienced lawn mowers. We have lawns all over Upper Hutt, and room to expand. Whether it is a residential yard, large empty section, school or other field, no job is too big.
