The Summit Road Society was established in 1948 to further the vision of Harry Ell to preserve and protect the Port Hills of Christchurch New Zealand. We own four reserves on the Port Hills: Ohinetahi Bush Reserve above Governors Bay, Omahu Bush and the adjacent Gibraltar Rock above Tai Tapu and the newly acquired Linda Woods Reserve between Avoca and Horotane Valleys.

Donations towards the Society will go towards our important work around track maintenance, pest and predator control, native bush restoration and advocacy for the Port Hills.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
