Here's some great news to start the new year!

The ‘Fund for CCS Disability Action Waikato’ has been set up by the Gemini Trust, through transferring its investment portfolio to the care of Momentum Waikato.

This has allowed the Trust to be wound up, while ensuring its mission to provide financial support for CCS Disability Action Waikato can continue forever.

CCS Disability Action Waikato makes a huge difference in the lives of disabled people and their whaanau across the Waikato, Coromandel and King Country.

A heart-warming example is that of Lexy and her foster parents Maree and Dave in Te Aroha, pictured below.

“She’s a complete social butterfly,” says Maree. “She just brings so much love and laughter into our home. She’s a joy to have in our lives.”

Do you, or your business or organisation, want to support the day-to-day lives of disabled people across the Waikato by helping to grow the income that provides tailored support to enable independence and choice in their lives? Do you want to help disabled people build their futures by attending the University of Waikato?

If you do, please donate to the Fund for CCS Disability Action Waikato!

Did you know Kaipaki has a field of sunflowers you can visit?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s hard to be unhappy around sunflowers.

After experiencing “some tough years” themselves, the owners of Kaipaki Sunflowers said the smiles on peoples’ faces made their hard work worthwhile as they look to raise $10,000 for a mental health charity.

They are approx 3 months old, very friendly and cuddly and will either be suited to a home together or separately but with the company of other animals/people who are home often due to their young age. They are used to my young children, have not yet been exposed to other animals but will adapt very quickly.
While there is no cost for their adoption the new owner will need to be able to pay for their vaccinations and if renting provide proof from the landlord of being allowed pets at the property.
Please get in touch to organise a time to meet them and talk things over with me if interested. Located in Hamilton.
