That’s what the Graeme Dingle Foundation does. Our programmes help young people thrive, develop confidence in who they are to make the most of their precious lives and become positive contributors to our communities.
We are proud to be the official charity of New Zealand Rugby.
Together we’re showing Kiwi Kids that what they have inside is greater than any obstacle.
Wellingtonians are flushing thirty-two tonnes of tampons, nappies and wet wipes each week!!
These items cause blockages and damage to our wastewater network, and often have to be cleared by hand.
Remember to only flush the 3Ps! Poo, Pee and (toilet) Paper 💩🚽🧻

Not only is legendary kiwi band The Warratahs headlining a star-studded line-up, day two of the three day festival will feature hundreds of classic and muscle cars from the annual Cruise Martinborough.
Hosted at the beautiful Tauherenikau Race Course in Wairarapa from January 24-26, (Friday to Sunday), the festival is becoming recognised as one of the best in the country. It’s also proving to be top billing for motorhome and caravanners with ample space and excellent facilities, all set in a stunning environment adjacent to a large stand of historic native bush.
Organised by the Wairarapa Racing Club, general manager Matthew Sherry says the 2020 festival is going to be huge.
“We couldn’t be more excited as this we believe is one of the best line-ups we have put together in the four years of hosting the festival,” Matthew says.
“The music line-up is incredible and we’re confident that it is going to be something very special,” he says.
The addition of Cruise Martinborough, which runs from 23-26 January, adds another exciting aspect to the festival making it an event not to miss, he says. The annual four day rally, which brings together the best classic and muscle cars from across the country, will be on-site at Tauherenikau on the Saturday afternoon giving country music festival goers the chance to get up close and personal with these magnificent machines.
“Cruise Martinborough is now an established event, so to have them involved on the Saturday is going to be fantastic.”
The star of the 2020 show will be The Warratahs, who after nearly 35 years of playing and performing are a New Zealand music institution.
Also confirmed is: New Zealand Entertainer of the Year 2018, Ainslie Allen; UB40 openers Dust & Gold from Nelson; Nashville based kiwi singer/songwriter Jackie Bristow; Tui award nominees, Melissa & The Dr; Bevan Gardiner (of John Denver tribute fame) with James Davy; Wairarapa-based performer Sue Dyson; and the grand-daddy of them all, Wayne R. Heath, who has well over 50 years of experience as a singer, entertainer and recording artist.

Also seems like they may be considering rezoning the Belverdere Rd/Kent St/ Connollys Line area to urban, this way they can squeeze in an 41 extra rate paying properties
Anyone who knows the land they are talking about knows it is a bog and totally unsuitable for any type of housing development. It is also part of a flood zone according to CDC itself!
Goodness me CDC what are you thinking? C'mon folks, have your say and get on to our local representative and let them know what you think
