Under the Stars - Homeless in Tauranga
We are a Charitable Trust feeding the homeless and needy. We supply hygiene necessities, blankets, and clothing for those in need. We are also fortunate to have a hairdresser occasionally on site who gives her services for free. Recently we have begun to hold a drop in afternoon every second Thursday, giving people the opportunity to have a light lunch and a chance to chat. We are hoping to develop this afternoon more by offering a variety of creative arts. The volunteers that commit time and energy towards our meals do so mostly out of their own funds.

Proposed youth centre for Keith Street Wanganui central district
I propose the opening and running of a youth centre based in Keith street or Wanganui cbd. The benefits of having a youth centre in the community will bring together the younger and older generations, so we can learn from each others mistakes and experiences to enhance each other’s lives. We have a mixture of people from different cultures in our society in such a small radius that sometimes we forget about those who really are struggling with life, and they are the most vulnerable people in our society. I want to change that for the better, and help those people that are struggling to survive on the basic benefit or wages. VOTE NOW!

Volunteering Canterbury
Volunteering Canterbury has been supporting volunteering for over 25 years in Canterbury. Increasingly we find ourselves going to the community to talk about volunteering; encouraging people to volunteer within their neighbourhoods. With people moving as a result of the quakes in 2010/2011, and the newcomers to the city for the rebuild, volunteering is providing excellent opportunities to make connections. We are seeking assistance for two tablets and a marquee so that we more readily attend community events and show people, on the spot, how to get involved with volunteering. VOTE NOW!
The House of Grace
The House of Grace is a home for pregnant teens and young mothers. Young mums are built up to be confident mothers, capable of raising children within healthy family environments. We help young women continue their education, overcome personal challenges and break free from issues that may be holding them back. As a non-profit and non-government funded organisation, we rely on donations. Funds will go towards furnishings for the home, new couches and updated bedding. We desire to make the home a beautiful, safe and peaceful environment for young mums who may not have experienced this before. VOTE NOW!

Foster Hope Charitable Trust
Foster Hope purchases items to go inside backpacks that are given to children when they go into foster care as sadly, it’s not unusual for a child to arrive in care with only the clothes that they’re standing in. Our backpacks include a book, soft toy, toiletries, a carry all bag and other bits and pieces to let the child know that their community cares about them. We would love to include packs of new underwear in the packs if we had additional funds. VOTE NOW!
Taradale Alleyway Improvement / Beautification project
Taradale has two alleyways that are unlit and therefore unsafe to use in the evenings and due to their rundown appearance and lack of adequate directional signage, they are not working as well as they could to link the community to the center of Taradale. The project includes: installing safety lighting for evenings, painting a mural on the 36 metre long large wall to celebrate the 130th year since Taradale was made a Town District; erecting mural panels; installing better signage.

We wanted our water tanks cleaned so we made a few calls. One to one people was answered by their daughter who assured me that , "dad will get back to you when he gets in." I never happened. So we left it over a week and tried again. This time it went to voice mail. We left our phone number, of course, BUT again nobody bothered to contact us. Why bother to advertise. A quick reply to say, 'sorry, we are real busy right now but we haven't forgotten you. We can come next week ....how's that?" would be the proper way to carry on, but no.. So, we tried another company. Two phone cals and e-mails to their website finally got a response . Someone did come out and said he'd send us an e-mail with their quote. After over 9 days, we are still waiting. How do the guys stay in business is y question and why bother advertising? On a brighter note, we do recommend Chris Poad, Master Builder. He does turn up; he is a good workman; he is polite; and he charges a reasonable rate. SO, IF anyone knows how we can get our water tanks cleaned by a person who will answer their phone; turn up and do a good job for a reasonable price, please let us know. And if anyone knows of a skilled arborist, who also charge s reasonable rates, we would like to know. Thanks.
