Craigs' Christmas Giving supports local charities
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!

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Poll: What do you think should happen with Chateau Tongariro?
The Government has refused to commit to saving the Chateau Tongariro Hotel, leaving demolition, decommissioning or private restoration all on the table despite strong community pressure to preserve the iconic building.
In a formal response to a petition led by Ruapehu District Mayor Weston Kirton, ministers acknowledged the Chateau’s cultural and economic significance but said no changes to current policy or legislation were warranted Chateau Petition response.
