Supporting our communities together for over 15 years
Hato Hone St John and ASB are committed to enhancing health and wellbeing for all New Zealanders, from responding in medical emergencies to providing friendship through the Caring Caller programme.
How we work with Hato Hone St John
ASB and Hato Hone St John have been in partnership since 2008, with ASB staff volunteering as Caring Callers, during annual appeal, on area committees, and providing help with fundraising.
All ASB branches are equipped with an AED (Automatic Heart Defibrillator) and have AED-trained staff ready to help.
ASB also funded Australasia's first emergency EV ambulance, currently being trialled on the road in Waikato.
St John Caring Caller
Hato Hone St John and ASB are making strides in enhancing community companionship through the Caring Caller programme. This volunteer-based telephone friendship service offers meaningful, regular connections that strengthen social bonds and enhance mental and emotional wellbeing.
ASB came on board as the programme sponsor in 2024, with the aim of enhancing the programme's impact, ensuring it reaches more individuals in need of companionship and support. ASB's people have also been long-standing supporters, with a team of dedicated Caring Caller volunteers in place since 2010, and our volunteer numbers continue to grow.
