How you can help

The Speight’s Brewery Environment Fund is a collaboration between Speight’s and local residents for the good of Dunedin. Every year Speight’s contributes $25,000 to the Fund but we are also inviting people to make a donation every time they fill up with spring water from our tap on Rattray Street. Each year people take 1,000,000 litres of water from the tap. If they donated just 10 cents for every litre, over a year this would contribute $100,000 to the Fund. So, support your city and drop your 10 cents of brass into the donation box the next time you fill up at the tap.
