Youths wanted to help spend $10,000

Noel Smith from Noel Smith Councillor - Newcastle Ward

Waikato District Council is looking for young people with an interest in their community to take a lead in bringing ideas for youth projects and events to their local community boards and committees.

The Council has received $10,000 funding from the Ministry of Social Development to support the establishment of volunteer ‘youth action groups’ with representatives on local community boards and committees in Ngaruawahia, Huntly, Te Kauwhata, Tuakau, Onewhero, Raglan and Tamahere.

Groups established within the community could be supported with a budget of up to $1,000 each to design, develop and run community based youth projects between now and the end of June.

If you would like to join a youth action group in your area, contact Shannon Kelly on 027 405 6450.

Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.

This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.

Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
