The population of the Waikato is young, growing and diverse, with its own distinct health challenges and inequities, particularly amongst rural, Maaori and Pasifika communities. The Foundation's purpose is to provide seed funding for robust and ethical research into medical and health care that can bridge inequity gaps and improve health outcomes across the board.
Their decision to set up the ‘Waikato Medical Research Foundation Fund’ at Momentum Waikato is all about making it easier for the public to contribute towards the success of the health research sector in the region.
“We are in a position to help make advances right here that have the potential to improve health for the people of the Waikato, and around the globe,” says Foundation Chair Gillian Spry.
“That’s pretty exciting and interesting. We invite people to donate and, through our newsletter, join us in learning about the amazing research work going on here in the Waikato.”

Longveld started up its fund in 2019 at Momentum Waikato, their local community foundation, and ever since has dollar-for-dollar matched their team’s donations towards it.
Payroll Giving takes the agreed donations out of pay packets in the same manner as income tax or student loan repayments, with the tax on the donation being able to be claimed back at tax return time.
Once a year the team votes on where to grant a portion of the fund’s income, which Managing Director Pam Roa describes as “a fun process”.
“Our payroll giving and funding vote brings together our support team and our trade crew for a common purpose unrelated to work,” says Pam.
Longveld fabricated Ngaa Pou Karohirohi (pictured) on Hamilton’s city river jetty, a project led by artist Eugene Kara, Ngaati Korokii Kahukura, in collaboration with local hapuu representatives.

The original price was 750 but because I found a chip on one side of the bike that hardly could be found they sold it to me for 650. The price for sale is 5oo now. it's good as new! clean and shiny. I used it to have some quality me time around the Waikato River and to go to work. The reason I am selling it is because I am leaving the country soon. Once you texted, I can send you a clear close-up video as well.

hope to see you at one of our meetings.
PS Toastmasters is fantastic for helping people build up their confidence and provide them with great public speaking skills.
I have seen many many mice join but eventually leave as an elephant so Toastmasters works. On a personal level it helped me gain the skills I needed to deal with my daughter's medical teams when she was a child/teen.

When Ben the dog disappeared into a tomo, his owner had to call the fire brigade.
Thomas Williams had actually been fencing tomo to keep stock out when Ben fell about 15m.
And firefighters have explained how they got the beardie out.
Have you ever had to call in help to rescue a pet?
