Welcome to our 2023 Community Report Card, where we reflect on the past year and share some of the many community and sustainability initiatives we’ve delivered alongside local communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia.
For more than 25 years, the Bunnings sausage sizzle has provided grassroots community groups a simple way to raise funds to continue their important work in our communities.
Not-for-profit organisations are able to book a sizzle with their local store - they need to bring volunteers and adequate supplies and Bunnings helps with the rest.
Organising a Bunnings sausage sizzle is easy - BYO volunteers and necessary products and we'll help look after the rest. Contact the ‘Activities Organiser’ at your local store to book. Conditions apply.
How do I apply for a sausage sizzle?
Apply in writing to the ‘Activities Organiser’ at your local store - your application should be on letterhead and can be mailed or emailed. Your letter should also outline what the funds will be used for i.e. upgrading facilities, purchasing equipment.
Who can apply?
Bunnings receives many requests for support, and in order to consider these worthwhile requests fairly and objectively we have developed a broad framework covering our community involvement activities.
In line with this framework, our priority is to work directly with not-for- profit community groups and charities. This allows our stores to fully participate in the communities in which they operate by providing meaningful assistance to their local community.
We strive to work with organisations that share the Bunnings values and reserve the right to decline activities with organisations that don’t align.
All funds raised continue to go directly to the community group running the BBQ.
Free mobile payment option
Bunnings now offers a free mobile payment option. Be sure to ask your store Activities Organiser about this option once your application has been approved.
What do we need to supply?

And lastly…
The Bunnings sausage sizzle has grown to become both a valued fundraising avenue for eligible community groups and an important part of the Bunnings experience for our customers.
We love welcoming you, our communities, into our stores and helping raise funds to support your many and varied important causes.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Our preference at Bunnings is to support local community groups by providing hands-on assistance with their projects. Wherever possible, our teams take the opportunity to get out into the community and help with grassroots projects, like assisting with garden makeovers and providing D.I.Y. support. We also regularly donate products for community activities including raffles and fundraising events.
Requests for hands-on support should be made in writing on the community or charitable organisation’s original letterhead, and sent to your nearest Bunnings store, to the attention of the Activities Organiser.
We have produced an annual community report card since 2004 which provides detailed information on our ongoing community support and sustainability initiatives. The 2023 community report card (near the top of this page) highlights our actions and achievements during the 2023 financial year.
The 2021 Wesfarmers sustainability website provides a detailed insight into the heart of our day to day business practices covering our health, safety and environmental performance as well as our community involvement activities. What we do in these areas is a very tangible part of who we are. This reporting is voluntary and publicly demonstrates our commitment to continually improving our performance in these areas. By reporting in this way, we make ourselves accountable to achieve improvements.
