Boys Brigade Waikato Fund backs future leaders
The Boys Brigade Waikato Charitable Trust Fund is a great example of a community group having an endowment with Momentum Waikato to fund scholarships or grants that develop individuals' knowledge, abilities and capacity.
This year the Boys Brigade Waikato Trust applied the income from its Fund to providing grants that enabled three young men, Joel Chernishov, Jake Guyan and Dylan Young, to attend Stage 1 of Boys Brigade's National Leadership Development Course at Nelson Lakes in July.
Joel reported back that he "liked the way the course forces you to learn through practical challenges".
Jake (in yellow jacket in group shot below) said "All of the teaching sessions where insightful and eye opening in what they made me see in myself as a leader and the way I lead and work within a group".
Dylan said "I had such a great time and learned so many things and really went outside my comfort zone and had a blast. My favourite part was definitely the views. This was my first time in Nelson and I would never imagine how beautiful it truly was, so spending a couple nights with the beautiful sunsets and sunrises was incredible."

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: What do you think of the new police move-on powers?
Central Hamilton businesses are welcoming police being given new powers to move on vagrants, with a city retail advocate saying the previous hands-off approach wasn’t working.
On Sunday the Government announced it would grant police powers to order any individual rough sleeping, begging, or displaying disorderly behaviour to move on.
