Waikato SPCA
Last year in October our local branch closed suddenly. Since February 2017 The branch opened again under administration by national office (RNZSPCA) and have steadily been restoring the branch back to the service and reputation it needs to be. At the SPCA National AGM in June 2017, the majority of SPCA branches voted to become ONE SPCA - no more 45 branches all trying to do their best with managing resources well.

If you have been a Waikato SPCA member, are a life member, supporter, volunteer, guardian angel but not involved currently, our branch needs all the local support it can get. We have a newly appointed branch manager who has been in place 5 weeks now, and the centre is a much different place than recent few years. Please consider engaging again locally. We have so many animals in this significant region, and need all the support we can to keep SPCA involved in keeping the welfare of animals protected and represented. Centre opening times are still limited currently, but these are extending as the re-establishment of the branch progresses.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
