Fiji’s hospitality sector has recently come together in a remarkable show of generosity, turning community support into real, tangible outcomes. FNPF-owned IHG Fiji Hotels and the Reddy Group have spearheaded initiatives that uplift local communities, raise awareness for important causes, and inspire meaningful action across the islands.
Giving for Good Month: Hospitality with Heart
The FNPF-owned IHG portfolio in Fiji – InterContinental Fiji Golf Resort & Spa, Grand Pacific Hotel Suva and Holiday Inn Suva together with Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course wrapped up Giving for Good Month 2025, a global initiative encouraging colleagues to volunteer, fundraise and support local causes. Their activities contributed $60,000 to support hospitals, schools, and community programs.
From golf swings to coffee counters, the Fiji properties transformed the campaign into a series of impactful activities:
- $40,000 raised at the Giving for Good Charity Golf Day to support Sigatoka Hospital
- $10,000 raised at Grand Pacific Hotel’s Carpark Café for hospital improvements
- $10,000 per Cup of Kindness Coffee event benefiting local schools and children’s homes
- Distribution of 420 food packs across Nadi and Suva
- Support for children with disabilities, surf clinics for young women, and other community events
“Giving for Good is more than a campaign. It is a reminder that when we share what we have, even in small ways, we change lives,” said Lachlan Walker, Regional General Manager, Fiji & Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
Pinktober Walk: Turning Awareness into Action
On October 1st, the Reddy Foundation, the charitable arm of the Reddy Group, reinforced its commitment to the Fiji Cancer Society with a $10,000 donation during the Pinktober Walk at My Suva Park in Suva. Staff, community members, and supporters joined the annual walk in solidarity with those affected by cancer, bringing the year’s theme, “Awareness into Action,” to life.
Speaking at the event, Tanoa Hotel Group Area General Manager, Fiji, Narend Kumar, said, “At Tanoa, we believe that small actions can create big change. By supporting the Fiji Cancer Society, we hope to ease the journey of those facing cancer and strengthen the network of care available to our communities.”
Company director Kamini Reddy added, “This year’s theme reflects our ongoing dedication to transforming awareness into action. It also carries forward the vision of my late father, Mr. Y.P. Reddy, whose legacy of community empowerment continues to guide the company’s efforts under the Reddy Foundation Programme.”
Small Acts, Lasting Impact
Both the Fiji-based IHG Hotels and the Reddy Foundation show how Fiji’s hospitality sector can be a force for social good, turning community awareness into tangible outcomes. Whether it’s walking in support of cancer awareness, pouring a cup of kindness, or hitting the golf course for charity, these initiatives highlight the power of collective action, inspiring hope, supporting health, and strengthening communities.
