Hey everyone!
Ahuriri Advocate shares daily news of everything that’s going on in Hawke’s Bay💙
They have funds that they distribute amongst the community each year.
I have nominated the run club who might receive a small donation. I have always kept the run club free and have funded the LED vests, wristbands, torches etc with a contribution from Portmans Motor Lodge.
This has enabled every woman to access the run club and reduced any barriers to running, particularly through winter, safely.
I have alwyas wanted to keep it free and accessible. Because of this and not taking money, it means I am not able to apply for community funding through other streams. So this is a great opportunity to be able to fund more vests, more torches, head torches and bands for next winter.
If you click on their post, you will be able to vote for us in the comments, so please please do so, so that we can keep our wonderful run club feeling safe again this winter ❄️ 🏃♀️

HELP NEEDED!
Ahuriri Advocate has $12000.00 to give away to somebody who needs help in providing 'CARE' in our community.
With so many worthwhile causes to choose from Ahuriri Advocate is asking the public to suggest by commenting or PM who should receive the gift.
