Kāpiti community rallies to support hospice.
Kāpiti photographer Murray Short is pushing ahead with a calendar to raise funds for the Mary Potter Hospice.
The calendar will feature pictures of Kāpiti sunsets
The project has had a set back with the theft of money raised at a pub quizz to help to offset the printing cost.
The bar was, however, broken in to over the weekend and a jar of cash stolen. Short publicised the situation on social media and was delighted when locals rallied around offering money, practical helps and offers to buy the calendar.
The calendar will now be going ahead and Short says he is delighted by the community support.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
