OUR IMPACT
We're a small NZ team making real-fruit soda — and we've built Sidekick to do more than just taste good. From ongoing support on every can to seasonal campaigns and community donations, we put real money and product behind causes we genuinely care about. No tokens. No once-a-year photo op. Here's what we've put weight behind.
LIVE NOW
Our limited-edition Watermelon flavour, made with Breast Cancer Cure (NZ registered charity CC11205) and Lake Hāwea Station. NZ$10 from every 12-pack pre-ordered supports breast cancer research right here in Aotearoa.
Pre-orders close when the 700 available boxes sell out.

ONGOING
A piece of every can supports Paw Justice — working to stop animal cruelty and rescue at-risk animals. Rescue dogs and cats have always been part of our family, and this is one way Sidekick gives back year-round.

A community garden, composting hub, and education space in the Upper Clutha — strengthening local food security and bringing people together through shared mahi. We donate cans and show up for the causes that keep our hometown resilient.

We're choosy about who we work with. Some partnerships run year-round — like a piece of every can going to Paw Justice — and others are focused campaigns where we commit a meaningful per-unit amount. We pick causes our team or community has a personal connection to, and we make the math public so you know exactly where your money's going.
