FUNDRAISING IDEAS: Wgtn West Community Patrol
Are you a fundraising guru or do you have lots of cool ideas? Let's talk volunteer community group funding. Lots of chocolate on offer as a reward :) Call Greg on 021473499 or email westernpatrol@gmail.com
We need Everyone's Ideas and Support so we can raise lots of funds to keep operating your local Wgtn West Community Patrol group, and so we can do even more for you. We have been busy doing Crime Prevention Patrols around the Western Suburbs and Wgtn City for the last 3 years and a lot this year. We are also local resource for Civil Emergencies - please help us to help you.
Our Patrol group need lots of Fundraising Ideas to help fund our Vehicle fuel, Patrol gear, vehicle maintenance and people training. We are looking at the Pub Charities, Funding Trusts, professional fundraisers etc and need to know what else works. Can you help?
Did you know that there are 20 x volunteer Community Patrol groups in Wgtn alone as part of Community Patrols NZ (CPNZ) - cool eh? Just Google Community Patrols for news items about our work.

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!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
