Empowering Women, Transforming Futures

Every day goodness grows here

Behind the Annah Stretton fashion label is the Annah Stretton Foundation, working to transform the lives of female offenders through RAW and support driven Kiwi women in pursuing education via Hope Fish. Though separate, both charities share a goal: to build confidence, capacity, and capability in individuals and organisations, helping them move from disadvantage toward long-term success.

Our Story

From the day Annah Stretton started her own clothing business back in 1992, an unrelenting appetite for exploring new opportunities, taking on new challenges and, making a contribution to the community became major driving forces in her life. Fast forward to 2013, and Annah’s desire to extend the impact of her philanthropic efforts led her to set up her own Foundation.

Where Business Meets Purpose

Purpose Beyond Profit

“I discovered that bringing my brand and my business acumen to the not-for-profit space, and not just my cheque book, created such a high for me that it naturally became an area that I wanted to invest more of my time in.”
