Securing the future for local disability support funding
Here's some great news to start the new year!
The ‘Fund for CCS Disability Action Waikato’ has been set up by the Gemini Trust, through transferring its investment portfolio to the care of Momentum Waikato.
This has allowed the Trust to be wound up, while ensuring its mission to provide financial support for CCS Disability Action Waikato can continue forever.
CCS Disability Action Waikato makes a huge difference in the lives of disabled people and their whaanau across the Waikato, Coromandel and King Country.
A heart-warming example is that of Lexy and her foster parents Maree and Dave in Te Aroha, pictured below.
“She’s a complete social butterfly,” says Maree. “She just brings so much love and laughter into our home. She’s a joy to have in our lives.”
Do you, or your business or organisation, want to support the day-to-day lives of disabled people across the Waikato by helping to grow the income that provides tailored support to enable independence and choice in their lives? Do you want to help disabled people build their futures by attending the University of Waikato?
If you do, please donate to the Fund for CCS Disability Action Waikato!
Do you volunteer or know someone who does?
It's NZ Volunteer Week (16-22 June) and we know there are real good sorts in your community.
Often these kind acts and regular volunteering efforts go unnoticed but let's put a stop to that.
Let us know below who is making a difference in your neighbourhood so we can all appreciate them for the great work that they do!
Can you figure this one out, neighbours?

Do you think these should become car parks?
Abandoned bus stops at a prime central Hamilton location near busy bars and restaurants have sat unused for two and half years, a sight that’s left one regular visitor frustrated at authorities.
The last time a bus stopped at the Victoria St end of Collingwood St was December 2021. Since then, fading yellow lines and no parking signs have warned motorists to not park there unless they want a ticket.
