Craigs' Christmas Giving supports local charities

The Team from Momentum Waikato

It is a real pleasure to have again worked with Craigs' Investment Partners on the Waikato section of their nationwide Christmas Giving programme.

This year they have made a $150,000 of Christmas donations to local communities across New Zealand.

With our assistance, Craigs' Hamilton Branch chose a diverse range of local charities to support, and then we delivered the funds - to Rural Support Trust, Kids in Need Waikato (pictured), Otorohanga Community Foodbank, Te Awamutu Community Food Forest, Friends of Mangaonua Esplanade Silverdale (pictured), and Operation Christmas Hamper.

The donations have been gratefully received and put to good use. For instance, Kids in Need Waikato say: “it went towards backpacks that children will receive this Christmas, perfect for starting the new school year next year.”

We’re always happy to help spread such seasonal cheer!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Hamilton city councillors have taken tangible steps towards a new water regime that will see a charge based on their property’s capital valuation in their rates bill for the first time next year.

The council voted unanimously on Thursday on a series of direction-setting decisions in relation to the 2024-2034 Long-Term Plan Amendments.

Poll: What do you think about our city producing school lunches for NZ?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One hundred new jobs will be created in Hamilton as the city becomes the lunchbox of the nation.

All frozen school lunches from Kaitaia to Bluff will be made in Pukete in a purpose built plant operated by The School Lunch Collective.
