Young Fair Fair
Hamilton Community Market in collaboration with Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is excited to bring this opportunity to Hamilton West on Sunday 4th September 2022 from 9am - 1pm at our market. This will be combined with our market, so will be a goodie not to miss.
The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is an experiential programme in which secondary school students set up and run their own business.
Our vision at Young Enterprise is to inspire the next generation of business leaders, disruptors, and changemakers, helping to create a generation of business savvy and financially competent Kiwis. In this authentic learning experience, students develop a whole new set of skills: problem solving, resilience, teamwork, leadership, public speaking, and decision-making.
YES companies complete challenges throughout the year in their quest to become regional champion and compete at nationals in December. There are both regional and national awards, cash prizes and tertiary scholarships up for grabs throughout the year.
The YES Trade Fair is an opportunity for students to sell their product or service and promote their business to the public (they are also competing for the “Best Trade Fair Presence” award!)
If you’re looking for a way to support your community and the next generation of bright, young entrepreneurs – then make sure you come on down to the Hamilton Community Market on September 4th!

Craigs Workplace Giving for Christmas in Waikato focused on front line
It has been a delight for us to again coordinate the annual Christmas-time Workplace Giving by Craigs Investment Partners' Hamilton branch.
We've now passed on $13,100 in grants of various sizes from Craigs and its staff to the five Waikato community organisations they have chosen this year, namely Cambridge Lifeskills, Cambridge Tree Trust, Hamilton Land Search & Rescue, Paws 4 Life (who provided the photo below) and Waikato Women's Refuge - Te Whakaruruhau.
Quinton de Bruin, Investment Adviser at Craigs says: “We’re really proud of our Workplace Giving program here at Craigs.”
“Employees opt in to donate from their monthly pay cheque, building up funds over the year which we then donate to charities in need at Christmas time.
“Craigs also matches employee donations dollar for dollar, up to $500 per person per annum, so it’s a great way to be able to make a meaningful impact in our local community,” says Quinton.
We say well played Craigs Investment Partners!
Poll: Would you ever buy a total doer upper?
Housing stock is starting to move on the Coromandel Peninsula, including a dilapidated place one block back from Whitianga's Buffalo Beach that sold to a Hamilton bargain hunter for $500,000.
Real estate companies are starting to see more deals go, however, prices have stabilised with high supply levels still outstripping demand.
Would you ever buy a total doer upper? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
