This is day number four of showcasing two of our AMI Community Grant finalists to share a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.

Crimewatch (Chch) Inc
We patrol schools, parks and areas where the public frequently visit in Christchurch, helping to keep the public safe from crime. We are expanding our reach and our fleet of vehicles because we have the opportunity to run a lot more activities that help support the well being of the whole community. As we are a non-profit organisation we do require funding to pay for fuel and other vehicle expenses to keep our fleets running to an excellent standard. We really appreciate all donations. VOTE NOW!

AED Defibrillator for Churchill Park School
We need to buy an outside AED Defibrillator to put up at Churchill Park School. There are so many sport organisations that use the school and large numbers of walker, joggers and cyclists use the local park and surrounding streets so this is also a essential item not only for the school but the surrounding community. The cost to purchase this is around $3,500 and we would love AMI community Grants to help support this. VOTE NOW!

This is day number three of showcasing two of our AMI Community Grant finalists to share a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.

Wellington North Community Patrol
Our purpose is to empower communities to prevent crime and create safer environments through the utilisation of trained and equipped volunteer patrols. In the November storms last year, we were on the road checking slips, directing traffic and clearing debris. The patrol needs funds to maintain its patrol vehicle - including ongoing petrol costs. Patrol members are also required to wear high-viz vests and currently we do not have sufficient on hand to allocate to each of our patrollers. VOTE NOW!

Surrogate Grandparents NZ
I have started up a non profit organisation called Surrogate Grandparents NZ who's aim is to unite families who may not have their own Grandparents close by, or are no longer alive with "Surrogate" Grandparents. It will provide support for families with young children as well as being companionship for the older generation who may be lonely and away from their own families. VOTE NOW!

If you are a Te Mata School family and would like help with the Friday lunch treats we will be in the staffroom in the morning counting the orders and we are happy to accept any help you can give.

We do this every Thursday morning and then gather for a cuppa and a catch up at Maina in the village. We usually finish the count around 9.30-10ish.

And while it may sound a little boring it seriously isn't.

We'd love to see you there.

Welcome to the Te Mata Home & School Committee Neighbourly page!

Are you a Te Mata School family? If you are, you might like you to join us.

The committee is a group of volunteer parents who organise fundraising for the school.

Each year, the Committee fundraises around $40,000, of which $10,000 goes towards ICT, and the rest is put towards various projects or equipment such as playground matting, sports uniforms and equipment, class room wet weather games or books for the library.

The fundraisers range from the weekly 'Friday Lunch Treat', to selling second hand uniforms, new beanies and umbrellas. In 2014, the Read-a-thon raised almost $12,000. 2015's Te Mata Cookbook was a visual feast! In 2016 we raised $20,000 from the Adidas Fun Run! How much can you help us raise this year?

We are always looking for people to get involved and there are many ways to help - from joining the Committee, volunteering at events or simply being a ‘friend of the committee’ who we can call upon when we simply need more manpower.

The Home and School Committee meetings are typically held in about one Tuesday a month in the staffroom at 7.30pm. Check Facebook or the Te Mata Home & School notice board for an update on the next meeting.

If you are interested in finding out more, contact our President, Fiona Charlton fionacharlton@hotmail.com 021-0611727 or just ask at the office, the fantastic staff there can point you in our direction.

North Shore Initial Response Trust
Every week we voluntarily train to prepare for disasters when emergency services require additional support in searches for missing people, sandbagging to protect properties from flooding, and helping limit damage to people and properties following events such as tornadoes, storms and tsunamis. As a group of volunteers, we are not paid for any of this activity. Since the equipment is exposed to extreme weather events and difficult environments, it regularly needs to be replaced. There is some vital equipment we are in need of in order to be able to continue our dedicating our time to helping keep people safe. VOTE NOW!

Riverton Community Garden Project
Our goal is to create a self-funding, sustainable food producing garden that can eventually start to give back to those most in need within our community, such as struggling families, and the elderly. We rely on various age groups to look after the garden, including the Riverton Primary School, Aparima College (local high school) and Riverton Childcare and other local volunteers. We are seeking funding to establish infrastructure to support the garden for many years to come. VOTE NOW!

He is under good control has had all his vaccinations up to January 2019, he is micro-chipped on the national database, reg with Napier council and neutered. His current owners don't have the time to spend with him as he likes to be walked often and enjoys a good run around. He has been brought up around children and has a lovely nature. He would be a great friend to any one looking for a companion. As with any Black Lab a fenced section is best and he will only be re homed to approved owners. If you are interested in meeting Tyson or know someone who may like him (and genuinely has time & motivation for him) please make contact through Neighbourly.
