We’re transforming the unused sports changing rooms alongside our centre in Nawton, Hamilton into a brand-new youth hub!

Nawton, Hamilton

A Fresh Space for New Generations!

We’re transforming unused sports changing rooms into a vibrant youth space right by the skate park and basketball court! This will be a place for young people to gather, connect, have fun, access services, and engage with youth workers. Thanks to Hamilton City Council for gifting us the space, we’re ready to bring this vision to life.

For nearly 50 years, the Western Community Centre has been a hub for activities, events, and community support. Now, we need your help to create A Fresh Space for New Generations!

Our Goal

We’re raising $950,000 to renovate this youth hub, ensuring it’s a thriving, fully functional space.

So far, we’ve raised $863,518

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
