LPC became a mission sponsor for the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust in 2019, supporting the rescue helicopter crews in carrying out operations across both land and sea and ultimately saving lives.

We are proud supporters of Fire Emergency New Zealand and employ and support Fire and Emergency volunteers at LPC.

LPC has partnered with the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust since 2013 to support their work to ensure that the Banks Peninsula has a biodiverse and sustainable future. Part of this work is our mission to restore the Port Saddle with native flora and fauna.
