Media enquiries

We love partnering with media to share the stories behind our work and to talk honestly about the challenges of caring for service graves across New Zealand. If you’re covering remembrance stories (ANZAC or Remembrance Day), community volunteering, local history, veterans’ heritage, or cemetery conservation, we’re keen to help with facts, context, interviews, and visuals. We look forward to hearing from you and making your story memorable.

Watch the TVNZ Good Sorts story on the NZRA to give you an idea of visuals.
