Crimewatch (Chch) Inc
We patrol schools, parks and areas where the public frequently visit in Christchurch, helping to keep the public safe from crime. We are expanding our reach and our fleet of vehicles because we have the opportunity to run a lot more activities that help support the well being of the whole community. As we are a non-profit organisation we do require funding to pay for fuel and other vehicle expenses to keep our fleets running to an excellent standard. We really appreciate all donations. VOTE NOW!
AED Defibrillator for Churchill Park School
We need to buy an outside AED Defibrillator to put up at Churchill Park School. There are so many sport organisations that use the school and large numbers of walker, joggers and cyclists use the local park and surrounding streets so this is also a essential item not only for the school but the surrounding community. The cost to purchase this is around $3,500 and we would love AMI community Grants to help support this. VOTE NOW!

I've noticed in Oamaru that some of us are privileged over others, which creates equity issues.
Without public transport, it is increasingly difficult for the elderly or people with children to get around if they live away from town. One friend of mine has a heart problem and lost her licence three years ago. She used to go fishing and lead an independent life. Now she must climb to the top of South Hill to get home from the shops. She has access to the taxi service, but in March now can’t get a new book until May. She must go to Dunedin once a month because of her heart, but must climb South Hill to get home from the doctor and the shops. You might say this will improve her heart but she is nearly 80. This really is unacceptable for me.
Another example is again to do with those with cars and those without. This applies to a lot of elderly people who have lost their licences through health issues. First of all, the rubbish question. Those with limited resources have to use the yellow plastic rubbish bags which are climbing to $5 to put all their rubbish including recycling, or pay to have more removed. Those with cars can take them to the recycling centre for nothing.
Another story refers to the health system here in Oamaru. I heard recently about an elderly couple around the corner, where the husband collapsed and was taken to his doctor by ambulance because there were no beds in the hospital. Ok this was a solution, but his wife then had to take him home by car afterwards, and he had to crawl up the steps of his home because his elderly wife couldn’t of course carry him up.
There is a lot of inequity here which I feel we and the council must address.

Wellington North Community Patrol
Our purpose is to empower communities to prevent crime and create safer environments through the utilisation of trained and equipped volunteer patrols. In the November storms last year, we were on the road checking slips, directing traffic and clearing debris. The patrol needs funds to maintain its patrol vehicle - including ongoing petrol costs. Patrol members are also required to wear high-viz vests and currently we do not have sufficient on hand to allocate to each of our patrollers. VOTE NOW!
Surrogate Grandparents NZ
I have started up a non profit organisation called Surrogate Grandparents NZ who's aim is to unite families who may not have their own Grandparents close by, or are no longer alive with "Surrogate" Grandparents. It will provide support for families with young children as well as being companionship for the older generation who may be lonely and away from their own families. VOTE NOW!

"The greatest success of Russian theatre is undoubtedly classical ballet."
The most splendid ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky's masterpiece score. From the moon-lit lake where elegant swans silently glide to the magnificent opulence of the palace ballroom, Odile, the temptress in a cloud of black tulle, provides a ravishing counterpoint to the purity and innocence of Odette, the beautiful swan Queen. A fairy tale story of a tragic romance. The unrivalled skill and pathos of the famous Moscow Ballet "La Classique" is a visual feast.
See their performance in Oamaru on Thursday 27th April 2017 in the Opera House. Click here to book or call 0800 224 224 or (03) 433 0770.

North Shore Initial Response Trust
Every week we voluntarily train to prepare for disasters when emergency services require additional support in searches for missing people, sandbagging to protect properties from flooding, and helping limit damage to people and properties following events such as tornadoes, storms and tsunamis. As a group of volunteers, we are not paid for any of this activity. Since the equipment is exposed to extreme weather events and difficult environments, it regularly needs to be replaced. There is some vital equipment we are in need of in order to be able to continue our dedicating our time to helping keep people safe. VOTE NOW!
Riverton Community Garden Project
Our goal is to create a self-funding, sustainable food producing garden that can eventually start to give back to those most in need within our community, such as struggling families, and the elderly. We rely on various age groups to look after the garden, including the Riverton Primary School, Aparima College (local high school) and Riverton Childcare and other local volunteers. We are seeking funding to establish infrastructure to support the garden for many years to come. VOTE NOW!
Over the next 10 days we'll be introducing two AMI Community Grant finalists to share a bit more about the great work they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.

Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!
Vote now for your most deserving local community group or charity so they can be in to win 1 of 3 “Freezell” fridges, designed and personalised by Dick Frizzell.
