For the third consecutive year, SKITTLES is proud to partner with the Trust to support Pride events and activities across Aotearoa New Zealand in 2026.
As part of this ongoing collaboration, SKITTLES will donate $10,000 to our Community Grants programme, to be distributed to regional Pride Parades and community-led Pride initiatives that bring people together in celebration and solidarity.
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with SKITTLES for a third year,” says Gurv Singh, Trust Co-Chair. “The rainbow remains a powerful symbol of unity and visibility, and we’re proud to amplify that message through Pride events across the motu.”
“SKITTLES – and its iconic rainbow – stands for happiness, inspires fun and celebrates diversity and inclusion,” says Shane Hammond, from MARS NEW ZEALAND. “We’re honoured to support RNZCT again in 2026 and to help foster connection, joy, and visibility for LGBTTQIA+ communities nationwide.”
