Waikato Women's Fund invites you to 'Still We Rise: The Work Continues'
We’ve come a long way—but there’s still work to do.
This isn’t a gala. It’s a gathering. A rally cry. A night for the women who keep showing up - for themselves, for each other, and for the generations coming next.
Charlotte Twigg is a powerhouse. She brings truth, fire, fatigue—and hope.
She’ll speak to what it means to lead, to rise, to rest, and to keep going anyway.
We won’t pretend everything’s fine. But we will remind each other: this work, while unfinished, is already changing the world.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
