Craigs' Christmas Giving supports local charities

The Team from Momentum Waikato

It is a real pleasure to have again worked with Craigs' Investment Partners on the Waikato section of their nationwide Christmas Giving programme.

This year they have made a $150,000 of Christmas donations to local communities across New Zealand.

With our assistance, Craigs' Hamilton Branch chose a diverse range of local charities to support, and then we delivered the funds - to Rural Support Trust, Kids in Need Waikato (pictured), Otorohanga Community Foodbank, Te Awamutu Community Food Forest, Friends of Mangaonua Esplanade Silverdale (pictured), and Operation Christmas Hamper.

The donations have been gratefully received and put to good use. For instance, Kids in Need Waikato say: “it went towards backpacks that children will receive this Christmas, perfect for starting the new school year next year.”

We’re always happy to help spread such seasonal cheer!

Have a great break everyone, Meri Kirihimete and Happy Solstice to you all!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Poll: How are your manu skills?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato MP Tim van de Molen could have inadvertently been gifted his new election campaign slogan after taking out the Waikato Times political manu challenge.

Guest judge Alia McQueen said the National Party MP showed loads of “style and energy” as he out-bombed his parliamentary colleagues at Saturday’s impromptu manu challenge at Wellington Street Beach in Hamilton.
