Local Impact brings together Level Members, supply partners, families and volunteers to support communities, organisations and families facing hardship or adversity.
From donated trade labour and materials to hands-on help on the ground, it’s about showing up, giving back and using what we have to create lasting impact.
Local Impact is a Level Group ANZ initiative that brings together Members, supply partners and industry partners to deliver practical support where it’s needed most.
It started with a simple idea: our network is full of skilled trade businesses, generous suppliers and good people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and help.
Each Local Impact project looks different depending on the need. Sometimes it means supporting a local community organisation. Sometimes it means rallying around one of our own.
What stays the same is the intent: to create meaningful, practical outcomes through donated time, materials and support.
Local Impact launched in Queenstown in 2024, alongside the Level Group New Zealand conference.
What began as a plan to support one local organisation quickly became something bigger. After strong Member support, Level helped three community organisations: Baskets of Blessings, Central Lakes Family Services and Wakatipu Playcentre.
Level Members and supply partners donated more than $50,000 in time and materials, completing plumbing, electrical, heating, lighting, maintenance, painting and general improvement works.
The project delivered real outcomes for the people supported and attracted strong media attention, from local newspaper coverage through to national breakfast television news.
In 2025, Local Impact turned inward to support one of our own.
Angela Clarke, from Level Plumbing Inverell, was diagnosed with stage 4 pelvic cancer while she and her husband Simon were preparing long-planned renovations to their family home.
What began as a GoFundMe campaign quickly became something much bigger, with the Level tribe rallying around Ange, Simon and their four children, Isla, Kenzie, Henni and Oakey.
Sadly, Ange passed away prior to Easter 2026.
In June 2026, Members, supply partners, families and friends came together in Inverell to help renovate the Clarke family home, on the farm Ange grew up on and later bought with Simon.
Through GoFundMe donations, donated materials, volunteer labour and hands-on support, more than $100,000 helped bring the project to life.
Local Impact 2026 was about more than renovating a home.
It was about the Level tribe coming together in honour of Ange, and in support of Simon, Isla, Kenzie, Henni and Oakey.
Across the weekend, Members, supply partners, families and friends rolled up their sleeves to help upgrade the Clarke family home. There were stories, laughter, tears, hard work, kids running around, a bonfire, live music and a whole lot of heart.
It was a weekend that captured what Local Impact is all about: showing up for each other and making a real difference together.
Since launching in 2024, Local Impact has brought together Members, supply partners and volunteers to deliver practical support with lasting impact.
Watch how the Level network came together in Queenstown to support three local community organisations.
Local Impact is only possible because of the generosity of our Members, supply partners, families and volunteers.
From donated products and materials to project planning, trade labour, catering, transport and hands-on support, every contribution helps create something bigger than any one business could achieve alone.
Thank you to the supply partners who helped support Local Impact 2026:
Local Impact is about using the strength of the Level network to support communities, organisations and families when it matters most.
As the initiative continues to grow, each project will be shaped by the need in front of us, and the people who come together to help.
