Waikato Women's Fund riding with Spirit of Coromandel Trust
The Waikato Women's Fund, a giving circle powered by Momentum Waikato, is pleased to support the work of The Spirit of Coromandel Trust and their ‘Waahine on Wheels’ programme. We were delighted to be able to donate a small grant from the proceeds from the Waahine Toa event held in October 2022.
The ‘Waahine on Wheels’ programme and the Spirit of Coromandel Trust was selected following a nomination process, aiming to support an organisation or an individual in the Hauraki or Thames-Coromandel districts affected by the recent weather events.
The Spirit of Coromandel Trust’s purpose is to encourage and engage rangitahi, tamariki and waahine into outdoor activities by connecting them to nature, by bike. The grant will go to further developing opportunities for local waahine and building future capability within the region for more women and girls.

Poll: Have you ever tried learning a language?
Hannah Westbury likes to chat with customers at her checkout - so much so that she’s learning sign language for one regular.
Paeroa-based Westbury has worked in Woolworths for the past seven years and moved to checkout a year ago.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
