Volunteering Canterbury
Volunteering Canterbury has been supporting volunteering for over 25 years in Canterbury. Increasingly we find ourselves going to the community to talk about volunteering; encouraging people to volunteer within their neighbourhoods. With people moving as a result of the quakes in 2010/2011, and the newcomers to the city for the rebuild, volunteering is providing excellent opportunities to make connections. We are seeking assistance for two tablets and a marquee so that we more readily attend community events and show people, on the spot, how to get involved with volunteering. VOTE NOW!
The House of Grace
The House of Grace is a home for pregnant teens and young mothers. Young mums are built up to be confident mothers, capable of raising children within healthy family environments. We help young women continue their education, overcome personal challenges and break free from issues that may be holding them back. As a non-profit and non-government funded organisation, we rely on donations. Funds will go towards furnishings for the home, new couches and updated bedding. We desire to make the home a beautiful, safe and peaceful environment for young mums who may not have experienced this before. VOTE NOW!

Foster Hope Charitable Trust
Foster Hope purchases items to go inside backpacks that are given to children when they go into foster care as sadly, it’s not unusual for a child to arrive in care with only the clothes that they’re standing in. Our backpacks include a book, soft toy, toiletries, a carry all bag and other bits and pieces to let the child know that their community cares about them. We would love to include packs of new underwear in the packs if we had additional funds. VOTE NOW!
Taradale Alleyway Improvement / Beautification project
Taradale has two alleyways that are unlit and therefore unsafe to use in the evenings and due to their rundown appearance and lack of adequate directional signage, they are not working as well as they could to link the community to the center of Taradale. The project includes: installing safety lighting for evenings, painting a mural on the 36 metre long large wall to celebrate the 130th year since Taradale was made a Town District; erecting mural panels; installing better signage.

Kidz need Dadz NZ
Our services provide a range of programmes for all Dads, and a weekly support group. Our programmes are Dad focused, being a new parent, parenting with teens, understanding relationships. Any funds raised are used to support Dads in these areas as well as provide for community events that we run through the year. VOTE NOW!
Free For All
Free For All is a community focused initiative that promotes the sharing of resources by saving usable items from the landfill and then giving the items away free of any cost or conditions. We have recently opened a free, appointment based, op shop where the community can come shopping for needs and wants with no questions or judgements. We need help with day to day running costs; rent, power, petrol and advertising, to help make the community aware of what is available to them. VOTE NOW!

South Canterbury Child Restraint Rentals
Car seat hire schemes were abandoned in New Zealand after 35 years of support. We think that it is important to have seats available to families with children visiting from out of town or overseas. Without a local rental scheme, they would need to purchase brand new car seats to only be used for a few weeks. The few seats we have at the moment are due to expire next year - we need to build up stock! VOTE NOW!
Students working to make walkways safe
Students from Murrays Bay Primary School and Intermediate School have worked with the New Zealand Police and Auckland Transport in an effort to encourage students to walk to school. Students have designed a logo that Auckland Transport have made into a stencil. The students want to use this logo on safe walkways to their schools. They need funds for the paint and brushes to do this. VOTE NOW!
