Te Puke and Districts Youth and Community Sense of Place
We need a hand up. After being forced to move out of a building due to sale (we had use of free of charge) we have taken on the former RSA building to secure a multi-purpose building for the Te Puke Community. It is a substantial lease (45k including) which we will be able to sustain but timing as seen us struggle with the forced move in December. Sponsorship has been difficult over holiday period due to holiday pay and businesses pockets being empty. The AMI Community Grants fund would enable us to carry over for two months whilst we get back in full swing. We have other funding applications in with Baytrust, Lions and are beginning a membership program and brick fundraiser.
This Grant would be critical in enabling us to provide Te Puke and districts with a sense of place. It would help wonderully with operational expenses.

Buying a home in Tauranga isn't just a transaction....
Buying a home in Tauranga isn't just a transaction; it's a chapter in your story.
Buying a home is a major decision, and it's crucial to figure out your must-haves before diving into the process.
Before hitting up the websites, jot down your deal-breakers:
* Pick your preferred suburbs.
* Consider the vibe of neighbouring areas.
* Think about local schools.
* Check out the proximity to shops, sports, cafes, and restaurants.
* List your dream home features.
* Decide on the importance of a garden or balcony.
* Determine the number of bedrooms you need.
* Consider if a garage is a necessity.
* Ensure your wishlist aligns with your budget.
Now, let's talk money:
Deposit:
Decide how much upfront cash you're comfortable putting down to secure your dream home. Generally, a larger deposit increases your chances of getting a loan, but it depends on your lender and financial situation.
First-time buyers might qualify for government assistance.
Other Costs:
While property inspection reports aren't mandatory, it's wise to get one to uncover potential hidden costs. Choose an inspector with professional indemnity insurance who follows the New Zealand Property Inspection Standards.
Once you've sealed the deal on your new home, take a breather—you've earned it!
Together, let's turn the key to a future filled with endless possibilities! 🌟🔑
