Board Update
At this week’s Board of Directors meeting we have decided to apply for the Ministry of Social Development Fund for $5,000 + GST. If successful we will buy vouchers for groceries in varying amounts for families in need especially around the Papanui area and surrounds.
We are also going to apply for a second grant to give to schools in our area to assist children to attend the Hanmer Forest Camp when the camp is able to safely reopen. We suspect that there will be a recession post Covid-19 with job losses and redundancies and families will find that financially they will not be able to give their children this opportunity.
Fingers crossed these grants will be made available so watch this space!
