We're running an Ultra Marathon to raise funds for roof repairs for the Trinity Centre – a much loved community space in Māwhera/Greymouth.
Greymouth, West Coast
Trinity Centre is a much loved and well used community space in Māwhera/Greymouth, Aotearoa NZ. Many groups, whanau, and organisations use this space for regular activities, events, meetings and celebrations. The Roof over the Hall, Kitchen & Lounge is in need of major repairs and its going to take a team effort to see this beautiful space remain dry, warm & welcoming.
I, Emily Holmes, am new to this area and can see how well the Trinity Centre (with adjacent lounge and kitchen) facilitates the local community in coming together. Sharing life is so important for combating the loneliness epidemic and social isolation that has huge effects on our New Zealand population.
My husband & I are committed to running the South Island 54km Ultra Marathon to raise funds for Trinity Centre roof repairs! We have completed a local marathon run & The Spectacle 21km trail run in our training this 2024 year. The Buller Gorge marathon Feb 2025 is the next milestone in the lead up to our goal! Join our adventure by donating to our cause!
You can also connect & share the journey with us on our Facebook Group 'Race for the Roof' https://www.facebook.com/groups/1667337147353924 and even consider racing yourself for this cause. Simply sign up for your chosen race, direct people to donate to this give-a-little page and begin training! Thank you for your support!
Funds raised will go towards roof repairs for the Trinity Centre & adjacent Lounge & Kitchen of the Trinity Centre. Any surplus funds raised will be held in reserve for future maintenance of the Trinity Centre & adjacent Lounge & Kitchen.
Builders are Booked Thanks to You! 1 October 2025
Thanks to your generosity (and others who gave directly to the church) we have all the funds needed to replace the roof. The builders have been booked and will tackle the project once there is a substantial dry spell on the horizon.
Again, thank you for your kind generosity!
