From the Phillipstown Community trust.
Back to school costs

The wonderful Deborah Lemon from Rehua Marae has compiled this comprehensive list of where families can access a bit of help with getting the kids back to school. Thanks, Deborah, for this great work. You can also check out Deborah's website, Navigate Your Way, for a great resource that helps navigate through government and social services.

The Salvation Army can support families with uniform grants, vouchers for stationery and assistance with devices. Contact your local centre to discuss your needs.

The City Mission's back to school programme can help with purchasing uniforms, shoes, stationery and other costs.

The JR McKenzie Youth Fund can provide help where death, sickness, family break up or economic hardship make it difficult for families to meet educational costs. The fund is administered by local Rotary Clubs.

Make It Happen helps Christchurch families with school-related costs including uniform, clothing, fees, school trips, sport, music and cultural activities.

Variety can organise a sponsor for children between 5 and 15. The charity connects donors with individual children. If you'd like to sponsor a child, you can follow the link to learn more. Kidscan also assist children during the year and always need sponsors.

Work and Income New Zealand can offer loans to qualifying applications to cover school costs. You don't have to be on a benefit, but income thresholds apply. If you are on a benefit, you can apply for an advance to help with school costs.

If you're caring for someone else's child and receiving unsupported child benefit or orphan's benefit, you can apply for the school start up payment.

If you live in Papanui, Papanui Rotary's Children In Need Trust can help with small grants, but remember it's only for Papanui residents.

Remember to talk to your school. They should be flexible about families taking a bit longer to purchase some uniform items. Some may offer hardship grants and donations from parents are voluntary by law. If you do pay the donation, you can claim a tax rebate for up to one third of the cost.

Different iwi have funding available for schooling - talk to the individual tribe for details including how to apply.

Contact my staff if you would like to discuss school costs. I am also happy to hear from parents if schools are penalising families for non payment - this should not happen.

Since the 1st January we have taken on 105 cats & kittens in just 24 days! 🙀

😿And in just 24 days our January vet bill is already over $17,000! 😿

This our latest kitten to arrive in care who was trapped this morning she has joined her 2 siblings and we are hoping to get the last one soon!

As we have so many cats and kittens coming through our care we are going through a lot of litter! We need pellet fuel (the most economical litter) ASAP.
We are currently going through two to three 15kg bags per week!

If anyone could donate some and drop off please email us for an address catrescue.chch@gmail.com😽

Pellet fuel can be purchased at PAK'nSAVE or hardware stores, but currently not at Bunnings until winter. The 15kg bags of 'on fire' are $8.99 at PAK'nSAVE and are in the Fuel and Fire section of the supermarket. Any brand is usable.

If you would like to make a donation directly into our account to help with our vet bill our details are below😽

A real party centrepiece! In sizzling purple, this chocolate fondue fountain sits on the table and works effortlessly, using any quality chocolate.
We’ve used it for a couple of events – very easy to use and clean – then it’s been in storage. In original packaging, outer box shows sign of wear. Made from stainless steel and heat resistant plastic, it is durable and easy to use, equipped with a thermostat and safety fuse for safe operation. Great for dipping fruit and marshmallows. Melt the chocolate to your required consistency, allow the fountain to heat up then pour in the chocolate and watch the smooth cascade, flowing over three tiers!
Bought for over $100NZ from UK quality purveyor of party goods – very similar (slightly bigger) than this product currently on their site:
www.gilesandposner.com...
Check out the video, our one is very similar but slightly bigger, taller and more elegant, and of course – purple!!
www.youtube.com...
Has an English plug on it, needs an adapter or to be swopped for a NZ plug.
Pickup from Sydenham, or can drop off if nearby.

Price: $40
