Unison's Greatest Supporter Programme
Unison celebrated 15 years of backing junior sports through our Greatest Supporter Programme in 2023. In 2025, we’re thrilled to be kicking off our 17th year of supporting junior sports and wellbeing.
The programme supports around 12,000 children every year in Hawke’s Bay, Taupō and Rotorua through junior rugby, netball, hockey, football and lake safety (in Rotorua).
As a consumer-owned company, we are extremely proud to support and showcase events and organisations that support the wellbeing, health and development of the children in our regions. Our Greatest Supporter Programme is also a great avenue for delivering electrical safety messages, helping keep young people safe around electrical equipment.
Medal Ceremonies
The Unison Medal Ceremonies are an opportunity to recognise one outstanding performer from every Taupō junior hockey and Hawke’s Bay junior rugby, football, netball and hockey team, for their outstanding commitment in showing our three key qualities; fair play, great work ethic and discipline throughout the season.

Sideline Supporters
We know how harsh it can be on the sidelines of junior sport in the chilly winter conditions. That's why we're very proud to be back again this season to support more of our communities with a treat on the sideline!
Look out for the Unison tent at hockey, netball, rugby and football grounds this year.
