Waikato Women's Fund invites you to 'Still We Rise: The Work Continues'

The Team from Momentum Waikato

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?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
