Giving Back
At Brolly Sheets, we’re all about practical help with heart. Our mission goes beyond dry beds. We’re committed to creating positive change for families, the environment, our community, and fellow small businesses. Whether it’s through donations, sustainability efforts, or supporting others on their journey, we’re proud to give back in ways that count.
Here’s how:
GoGenerosity – Donate a Little, Help a Lot
At checkout, you can choose to add a small donation ($2 or $5) to support families in crisis through GoGenerosity.

The David Awards – Backing Kiwi Business
Brolly Sheets began as a small business, so we know how important it is to have support and recognition along the way. That’s why our founder, Diane Hurford, now gives back as a judge for The David Awards, celebrating New Zealand’s boldest small business owners. As a former winner, we’re proud to pay it forward and support others on their journey.
