Kia ora Rob, Thank you very much for your generous donation. We have a busy last 2024 quarter coming up with: bikes being fixed and given away; our last 2024 Repair Cafe in December; planting more trees and sharing planting advice and information; warming up homes and seeing the projects funded by the 2024 round of the Whakahiko Ōtaki Fund grants swing into action. (The Whakahiko Ōtaki Fund is built up from solar farm net profits to fund community energy projects). Thanks for being a part of the action!
