Porirua Funders Expo returns

Porirua City Council

Funders and support agencies will be on hand next month to help local groups, as the annual Porirua Funders Expo is held again at Pātaka.

The event, running 11am-8pm on Thursday 5 October, is for organisations looking for funds to support community-focused projects around sports, the arts, supporting youth, the environment, or other areas that provide local benefit.

There will be about a dozen funders and support agencies available to chat to face-to-face at the event.

The event will run slightly differently this year, with groups able to drop-in between 11am-3pm or later from 5-8pm to chat with funders and agencies.

Funders confirmed for the day include Porirua City Council, Department of Internal Affairs, Nuku Ora, Creative New Zealand and the Ministry for Pacific Peoples.

Fireworks

Liam from Tawa

People keep fireworks because they are only legally available for purchase during a 4-day period each year, leading to stockpiling.
