Building character with environment of care
The Boys’ Brigade once had a much higher public profile, decades ago you would have routinely seen lads out and about in its military cadet-style uniform, but it is still going strong in the community, making a difference in boys’ lives.
The Boys Brigade Waikato Trust Fund at Momentum Waikato provides the Trust with income it uses to support the Brigade’s Waikato units.
Trust Treasurer Glenn Johnson says: “The parents that I am in contact with on a weekly basis consistently express their gratitude for what our leaders and the programmes do for their boys."

Poll: Have you ever had a Healthy Homes inspection done where you live?
Conflicting Healthy Homes inspection reports are raising concerns about the consistency of standards meant to ensure rental properties are safe and liveable.
In one recent case, a Cambridge rental property underwent two inspections within a week, with significantly different outcomes. The first, arranged by tenant Sara Lewis, identified multiple issues including mould, vermin, and ventilation concerns. A second inspection, arranged by property managers Harcourts, just six days later, found little to criticise.
