Sports gear wanted for Porirua youngsters
The hunt is on for sports gear to help Porirua youngsters play sport.
The community sports bank at Te Rauparaha Arena is approaching its first birthday, and the call has gone out for summer sports gear.
Sports equipment for the sports bank is donated by clubs, sports organisations, the public and from lost and found at council recreation centres and swimming pools. It’s then given to tamariki to remove some of the cost barriers of playing sport - which has significant social and physical benefits.
Schools, police, coaches, clubs and other agencies identify those in need, who can then access the equipment for free, using a printed card they are issued.
Anyone with items to donate can contact Keith Tahere at Te Rauparaha Arena - Keith.tahere@poriruacity.govt.nz
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
