Applications are open now for grants from our Community Fund
Thanks to their recent application we supported the members of Waipu Cove Surf Life Saving Club Inc to get qualified in first-aid.
Kath Manning, Waipu Cove Surf Live Saving Club Captain says "This is essential to the service we provide to the community during patrolling hours, as well as upskilling our emergency call out squad who offer a 24/7 response service to any aquatic or beach incident at Waipu Cove and surrounding area."
Proud to support this initiative! Your community group can also access this funding - view more and apply: www.wdc.govt.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
