Welcome to our second bi-monthly newsletter, we are aware that in today’s digital arena we are bombarded with messages so we will keep this brief – in between newsletters look out for updates on our Facebook page.
$150,000 boost
We are very excited to receive a significant boost to funding with a $150,000 grant from the NZ Community Trust. This brings funding to $3.45m, which is 85% of the $4m required. Our closest NZCT venue is the Elmwood Trading Co at 1 Normans Road, so please show your support by supporting them.
Current campaign
Our campaign to address an immediate need for funds is progressing well, with $35,000 raised to date. Drawings are now being advanced to the next level and it is anticipated we will lodge building consent in the new year
Donations, big or small benefits our community, we are so close now. Every drop helps edgewarepool.co.nz
