IHC Calf &
rural scheme
The IHC are a non-profit organisation in New Zealand who help support and educate families with children who have intellectual disabilities. The initiative was launched in New Zealand over 40 years ago and are currently supporting more than 45,000 families.
In rural New Zealand, looking out for one another is an important part of everyday life. That’s why Volkswagen New Zealand helps connect the scheme on a national level, by providing vehicles for both the North and South Island Coordinators.
‘‘Our team are out on the road in the Amarok connecting with farmers in rural communities. We personally visit and get around the back country in these ideally suited vehicles - bringing awareness and saying thank you to these generous farmers.” Says Greg Millar National Fundraising Manager
‘‘In the end, everything about the IHC Calf and Rural Scheme and the people who support it, is about having an impact on a group of people in our communities who need a helping hand. That’s it’s real impact and why we are so grateful.’’ Says Millar
