A shared commitment to ongoing community support has developed into a important enhancement of the Alsco Ambassador program. Since late 2018 PBT has picked up donated goods from Alsco’s Kingsland operation and delivered the boxes for free to worthy causes throughout New Zealand.
Alsco really appreciates and acknowledges this help. The dedication and enthusiasm of the PBT team has really helped build on the phenomenal success of our Alsco Ambassadors distributing worthwhile goods to needy kiwis. In the last 18 months PBT has delivered around 300 cartons of bedding, towels and special First Aid Kits to charitable organisations from Kaikohe to Christchurch – all at no charge.
Pat Munro loves the simplicity – when her team has an order ready for shipment, she simply calls Umesh Hari at PBT and he arranges it all. In her words ‘It’s great, all the PBT team are lovely, and we don’t have to worry about a thing’.
One of the organisations our Ambassador program works closely with is the Healthy Homes initiative. Working with local DHB’s, the aim is to support low income families to live in warm, dry, safe and healthy homes. With various interventions from a range of organisations, the Healthy Homes program has many successes, including decreasing the amount of child hospitalisations due to housing related indicator conditions like rheumatic fever.

Alsco recently visited PBT to say thanks. Mark Roberts (Alsco GGM) and Dave Lovegrove (PBT CEO) share their thoughts here...
Alsco has a number of longstanding partnerships in our sponsorship and charity portfolios. We are very grateful for this supportive arrangement with PBT and look forward to continuing to work together to help more kiwi organisations like Healthy Homes, Shine, Family Works and All Heart NZ.
We are very proud of Pat and her team of helpers, in 2019 they managed to give away nearly 7400 sheets (including 430 cot sheets made from cut down queen sheets), 6000 pillowcases, more than 1000 first aid kits, plus numerous boxes of miscellaneous supplies. This is all used product from our business that in previous times would have ended up in landfill, so it’s a real positive story all round.
Geometry Dash Lite's controls are quite basic. The character may jump and interact with items with just a tap or click from the player. The game Geometry Dash Lite is not, however, simple despite the controls' simplicity. As players advance, the levels actually get harder, necessitating quicker responses and improved obstacle pattern memorization.
The physics in the eggy car game are surprisingly well done. Small adjustments make a big difference when you're trying to protect the egg.
In addition to entertainment, Block Blast can also provide cognitive benefits. Puzzle games like this help improve spatial awareness, problem-solving skills, and concentration. Players must constantly analyze patterns and make decisions, which stimulates brain activity. While it may not be an educational game in a traditional sense, it still contributes to mental development in an enjoyable way.
However, Block Blast is not without its Block Blast Free drawbacks. Some players may find the gameplay repetitive after extended use. Since the core mechanics remain the same, there is limited variation compared to more complex games. Additionally, like many free games, it often includes advertisements and optional in-app purchases. While these features support the developers, they can sometimes interrupt the gaming experience.
What makes moto x3m so addictive is how its compact stages are filled with dense challenges. You barely get a moment to breathe as ramps, rotating blades, and collapsing bridges test your reflexes nonstop.
