Lottery Grants Record 2008–2009
Foreword
The Lottery Grants Board Te Puna Tahua
helps New Zealanders work together to
build strong, sustainable communities by
funding a wide range of social, community,
arts, heritage, sports, recreation and health
research services and projects.
The Lottery Grants Board distributes the
profits made by the New Zealand Lotteries
Commission (NZ Lotteries) from games such
as Lotto, Keno and Instant Kiwi.
These profits are distributed through grants
made by Lottery Grants Board distribution
committees. The Board also provides major
funding to Creative New Zealand, the
New Zealand Film Commission and Sport
and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC).
Lottery profits reached record heights in
2008/2009 because of two unprecedented
Lotto and Big Wednesday jackpot runs
which culminated in ‘must be won’ draws.
The final allocation from NZ Lotteries was
$189 million, almost $37 million more
than forecast.
NZ Lotteries staff from across the country
are working in other ways to build strong,
sustainable communities. They each have
eight hours a year to give to volunteering
for charitable causes, and most staff
have decided to use this time in helping
organisations that receive funding from the
Lottery Grants Board. These range from
StarJam to Heart Children to Hospice NZ.
There appear to be no bounds to their
volunteering activities. Two of the NZ
Lotteries’ sales team have led the way for
their colleagues by jumping out of a plane
over Auckland in October 2009. The skydive
raised funds for Heart Children NZ, which
provides care and support for heart kids and
their families.

A GREAT PLACE FOR ALL
Thanks to a grant of $500,000 from the
Lottery Community Facilities Committee,
work is starting on the upgrade of the Mount
Hutt Memorial Hall.
For more than 50 years, the Mount Hutt
Memorial Hall has played an important role
in the bustling Canterbury farming town
of Methven. Over the last year, it was used
by 49 groups ranging from the Methven
Community Board to the Red Cross Blood
Bank to the Methven Line Dancing Club. And
it hosted the town’s market day every month.
So it’s not surprising the Hall is now starting
to show its age and needs refurbishment.
While retaining the Hall’s memorial status and
role as a venue for performances and events,

A dedicated group of locals have been
working since 2004 on a project to
transform the Hall. A purpose-built ‘Alpine
and Agriculture Encounter’ will house an
interactive exhibition to celebrate the two
industries (agriculture and snow sports) that
have shaped Methven.
The centre will also house the New Zealand
Snow Heritage Collection, a national
archive of snow sports history, memorabilia,
film and photography. There will also be
a small theatre and a Hall of Memories, a

SENIORS COME FIRST
FOR NEW FUND
The new Community Sector Research
Committee (LCSR) has borne its first fruit
– one of its inaugural 18 projects has been
completed.
Eligible projects were those that would build
an organisation’s skills and knowledge or
increase community participation, co-operation
and understanding.
SeniorNet is an organisation for people
over the age of 55 who want to learn more
about computers and what they can do,
from word-processing through to surfing
the Net. At Learning Centres throughout
New Zealand, older people teach other older
people how to use new technology in a fun,
stress-free environment.
A grant of $67,850 enabled SeniorNet
to commission a study, Improving Our
Understanding of the Older Person’s Needs
in Learning New Technology.
The evaluation enabled the organisation to
test the proposition that seniors prefer, and
are better able, to learn new technology
through ‘older people helping older people’.
The results of the research, reported in
October, confirm that the SeniorNet model
provides an effective service by embodying
the learning needs of older people, giving
Lottery Grants Record 2008–2009
them confidence and mental stimulation,
and enabling them to participate more fully
in society.
SeniorNet’s success lies in its method of
matching older folk’s needs of a supportive
learning environment and using techniques
that match the learners’ pace. Its teaching
methods of avoiding complicated and
technical jargon and of using repetition are
tailored well for older people.
There are 17 other projects on the go at
present as a result of LCSR funding.
The Community Sector

The wilding pines are already well established
with infestations of up to 2000 seedlings
per hectare.
If left as it is, an estimated 61,000 hectares
of high country and pastoral land would
revert to self-seeded, dense pine forest
within 50 years.
The Mid Dome Wilding Trees Trust and
Environment Southland have developed a
12-year programme to tackle the problem. The
funding they have been awarded from the

PESTS MAY BE SOLUTION
TO PROSTATE PUZZLE
When well-meaning pioneers introduced
the Australian brush-tailed possum to
New Zealand in 1837, little did they know they
had opened an environmental Pandora’s Box
which has cost this country millions of dollars.
New Zealand has no hungry dingoes and
few bushfires. Instead, we provide these furry
critters with near perfect conditions; so good
they can breed up to twice a year.
It has taken a few years to establish, but it
looks as though possums might be of some
use after all. With funding of $133,249 from
the Lottery Health Research Committee in
2005, scientists have been working for the
past four years on the possibility of those
pests holding the key to prostate problems

which affect millions of men all over the world.
At the moment, surgery is the only effective
treatment for men who suffer from urinary
trouble caused by an enlarged prostate.
Professor Helen Nicholson, from Otago
University’s Anatomy Department, and an
AgResearch team led by Dr Bernie McLeod
have found that possums have prostates very
similar to those of humans’. They have also
found that possum prostates enlarge during
the breeding season and then regress.
It’s this regression that has the scientists
excited. They say that if they can understand
the hormones that cause the regression,
there may be an understanding of how to
prevent the enlargement problem in men. The
solution to the prostate puzzle might just be
sitting on a rimu branch.

Individuals with Disabilities Committee

FREEDOM TO DRIVE
Mike Hamill finds driving far more
enjoyable and stress free thanks
to a grant to adapt his car from
the Individuals with Disabilities
Committee.
A true Southern man, Mike lives
alone in Invercargill and values his
independence highly. He is reliant
on his car to ferry him, along with
his wheelchair, to his part-time
job and to all the community
and volunteering activities he is
involved in.
He is chairperson of the Southland
CCS Disability Action Local
Advisory Committee and works
at least six hours a week with the
Salvation Army.
Mike is an excellent driver, with
no cognitive impairments, but
he was worried that with the
decline of some of his physical
Lottery Grants Record 2008–2009
functions he was beginning to
have problems with such things as
working indicators, safely loading
his wheelchair onto the hoist at
night and maintaining the correct
position in the seat of his car.
After applying for an assessment,
Mike found that with an RB
Spinner he would have built-in
switches to operate indicators,
lower beam and windscreen
wipers without having to remove
his hand from the steering wheel.
Lighting on the driver’s door would
highlight switches operating the
wheelchair hoist at night and
additional lateral support built into
the driver’s seat would hold Mike
in the seat.
These and some other
modifications, as Mike says in his
letter, have given him back his
confidence.
The Lottery Individuals with
Disabilities Committee
approves grants for vehicles
and mobility equipment
to enable people with
disabilities to get out of
their homes and participate
in, and contribute to,
their community. It also
approves grants to people
with communication
disabilities for equipment to
make it easier for them to
communicate.
Dear Lottery Grants Board.
I would like to thank you for my grant that helped me to
adapt my Rav 4, so I am able to drive with more support
and the RB spinner is fantastic!
With age, my CP (Cerebral Palsy) and now Fibromyalgia
are making life a little more challenging. But Alec and his
team have made a great job of altering my seat, adding two
well padded armrests, to support me while I’m driving. They
put in a floor switch, so that I can now use my overdrive
button without having to cross over my arms, and they have
installed a light down at the driver’s door so I can see what
I’m doing in the dark, when I winch up my wheelchair onto
the roof-rack carrier.
But the best thing his team did for me was to install the
RB spinner, a clever little device that lets me control my
wipers, dip switch and indicators without taking my hand
off the steering-wheel, an absolutely amazing little thing!
This has given back my confidence to drive to where I want
to go, even in peak-hour traffic. It’s also great to drive to my
Wednesday CS Art classes, something that I really enjoy…
I am now able to drive to work and visit friends and family
without the pain and fatigue that hounded me.
Thanks again Lottery Grants Board, you’ve changed my life!

Marae Heritage and Facilities Committee
Te Tahua Marae Tuku Iho Me Nga - Whakaurunga
GREAT KAI ON THE MARAE
Many marae buildings, particularly ablution
and kitchen facilities, do not meet current
local authority health and safety regulations.
So the Marae Heritage and Facilities
Committee is there to help them develop and
conserve their facilities.
Thanks to $360,000 funding from the
Committee, the ringawera (kitchen workers)
at Te Awamarahi Marae in the Waikato are
now very happy in their work.
They have a brand-new wharekai (kitchen)
and modern equipment to help them feed
hungry hordes from the schools, community
groups, government agencies and tribal
organisations that use the marae for
gatherings and events.
Not all the workers are experienced in the
use of the new high-tech kitchen equipment,
so the rangatahi (youth) of the marae have

Affiliated to the Kingitanga movement,
Te Awamarahi Marae frequently hosts
tangihanga, unveilings, reunions, wa- nanga
(seminars) and other activities. The
refurbishment of the kitchen makes it easier
to meet health and safety requirements, and
for the marae to cater for bigger groups.
The Lottery Marae Heritage

makes grants to assist with
the capital costs of the
conservation, restoration and
development of marae facilities,
particularly wharenui, wharekai
and ablution facilities.

KEEPING KIWIS SAFE IN
THE WATER
Living in an island nation blessed with
beautiful beaches, a spectacular coastline
and magnificent lakes and rivers, it is no
surprise New Zealanders like to spend so
much time in and around water.
At home, in the pool, on the beach, in a lake,
river or at sea, water safety is an important
issue for all New Zealanders.
The Lottery Outdoor Safety Committee
shares Water Safety New Zealand’s
vision of enhancing water safety for
all New Zealanders and has granted
$2,050,539 towards delivery of targeted
educational initiatives.
The third highest cause of accidental
death in New Zealand is drowning, and our
annual drowning toll is one of the worst in
the developed world. Although drownings
can never be totally eliminated, they can be
reduced by increasing public awareness of
water’s potential dangers, improving skills and
through technological advances.
In 2008, there were 96 drowning fatalities
in New Zealand, the second lowest annual
total since records began in 1980, and
this improvement can be attributed to the
success of initiatives to raise awareness of
water safety as an important social issue.
Pre-school children are particularly at risk and
need appropriate supervision. Among adults,
men aged 18-35 are at risk because they
tend to take part in riskier activities.

GREAT GARDENS
Thanks to a grant of up to $433,000 from
the Lottery Significant Projects Fund, the
Hamilton City Council can complete the
construction of Te Parapara Garden.
When the first Pakeha whalers and sealers
came to Aotearoa, they depended on the
tangata whenua and their gardening skills
for food. In the 19th century, during the early
days of colonial settlement, Ma- ori were often
the market gardeners and traders, providing
the burgeoning new population with a variety
of fresh produce.
With the completion of Te Parapara Garden,
all New Zealanders will be able to visit a
traditional Ma- ori garden and find out how our
first gardeners tilled the soil.
Te Parapara will be an important addition
to Hamilton’s collection of gardens. They
include patches of land cultivated in the
traditions of China, Japan, Britain, India, the
United States and Italy.
Te Parapara has been designed according
to the practice of the local hapu- , and should
help promote a wider understanding of
tikanga in New Zealand.
New Zealand is said to be a nation of
gardeners and Hamilton City Council expect
Te Parapara to become a major attraction,
drawing more than 1.3 million visitors a year
to view Hamilton Gardens.
The Significant Projects Fund
is committed to developing
and preserving New Zealand’s
unique culture and national
identity through community
participation.

When their 1982 van proved too old and tired
to transport the fire crew and their equipment

A PERFECT PLACE
TO PLAY
Whether it is zipping around on a push bike,
piecing together a colourful jigsaw or solving
mysteries in a game of Cluedo, all children
love to play.
Toys are important tools for helping kids learn
and grow through play, and not all families
can afford to buy new toys or keep up with
their children’s changing interests.
Toy libraries aim to make sure everyone can
access well-designed toys, games, puzzles
and equipment. Operating similarly to public
libraries, families and caregivers become
members and, for a minimal cost, they can
borrow toys for a fixed time period. They also
aim to be a place where families can connect
and interact with other families.
The National Community Committee provided
a grant of $156,700 to the Toy Library
Federation of New Zealand for salaries
and the purchase of toys. There are 225
toy libraries to serve over 12,000 families
throughout the country.
Funding will also enable the Federation to
run a series of regional meetings and to
reprint manuals.
The regional meetings bring together a great
mix of experienced and new committee
members and provide an opportunity for
networking and sharing ideas.
The manuals, which are sent to each library
free of charge, provide guidance when
setting up and information on how to operate
as a not-for-profit organisation.
One National and 11 regional
Community Committees fund
developmental or preventative
projects, welfare and support
services, or projects that
improve the wellbeing of people
in the community.

Pacific Provider Development Fund
NELSON TASMAN PASIFIKA
COMMUNITY TRUST
The Nelson Tasman Pasifika Community
Trust was formed 21 years ago to support
the small, but vibrant Pacific community in the
Tasman Region, and has received a grant of
$10,000 to help strengthen its work through
governance training sessions with Trustees
and interested community members. A group
attending training is photographed above.
Members of the Trust hold regular, informal
meetings aimed at keeping Pacific culture
alive and giving support to Pacific people
living at the top of the South Island.
The Trust has been heavily involved in
organising events providing cultural benefits
to the Pacific community. The Trust has been
heavily involved in organising events providing
cultural benefits to the Pacific community.
Recently a performance was given by the
Free Church of Tonga and a group from the
Samoan Congregational Church in Trade
Aid Big Bang, a show promoting Trade
Aid. They also regularly organise Samoan
Independence Day celebrations.
A regular feature of the Trust’s work is
welcome and farewell functions for seasonal
workers, who are brought to New Zealand
from overseas, predominantly Pacific,
countries to meet seasonal labour shortages
in vineyards and orchards.
Another major objective is to link Pacific
people with social services when needed.
The Trust works alongside, and has strong
relationships with, local iwi, council, government
and community organisations to ensure the
needs of the Pacific community are met.

FAMILIES FIND HELP IN
WEST AUCKLAND
Thanks to funding from the Auckland
Community Committee, the Island Child
Charitable Trust NZ is able to continue to
give help to those people in the Auckland
area who are in need of support.
Housed in a two bedroom unit, based in Glen
Innes, the Trust offers emergency housing,
counselling and advocacy support, health
programmes, a drop-in centre, and youth
programmes for at risk youth.
Their vision is to work in partnership with
communities and strengthen families in need.
The Trust’s holistic approach means that
help does not stop at providing emergency
housing, but continues through to working
with families to develop a healthy lifestyle and
become self sufficient.
Full time voluntary manager and founder
Ms Danielle Bergin has found that homeless
and rehomed families benefit greatly from
Lottery Grants Record 2008–2009
their animal-assisted learning programme.
Many of the children have suffered trauma
and stress, and have learning difficulties,
and the company of animals has a strong
healing effect.
“We help people get on their feet, people who
are prepared to learn a new way of life and
make some changes,” she says.
The Trust helps people reach the services
they need, and also runs health programmes
that include teaching high-risk families how
to shop on a budget, where to go and what to
look for – and also how to grow vegetables.
Youth programmes target at risk youth aged
between 12 and 18 years. Confidential
counselling support is given by trained
volunteers to help young people develop a
positive self image and personal skills.

MAORI BATTALION
MARCHES AGAIN
The bravery of the Ma- ori Battalion is
legendary. The whole of New Zealand feels
pride in their exploits.
Their story has been told in Nga Tama Toa:
The price of citizenship, the fruit of 14 years
of research by a large team of descendants
of the Battalion’s C Company, drawn from
East Coast iwi.
Nga Taonga A Nga Tama Toa Trust, the driver
of this vast project, launched the book in
a manner befitting the mana of its subjects.
With funding help of $20,000 from the Bay
of Plenty / Gisborne Community Committee,
the trust was able to stage a memorable
event and to assist some of the old soldiers,
most of whom are infirm or disabled, in
getting to the ceremony.
A crowd of 5000 gathered in Gisborne for
this taonga’s send-off into the world. People
from all over the Tairawhiti region came
together with the veterans and their wha- nau,
and with descendants of the soldiers who
never returned.
As the parade of soldiers and wha- nau
carrying photos of their lost loved ones
arrived at Te Poho O Rawiri Marae, a mass
powhiri and haka began. The photos were
placed in kete on the marae steps.
The book launch was a landmark event
for Ma- ori communities all around the
rohe. It was a focus for regional Ma- ori,
community initiatives and provided
strong leadership models for young
people. Relationships with Pakeha
were strengthened by the inclusion of
non-Ma- ori veterans and the gift of a
record of the history of the area.
The celebration at Te Poho O Rawiri
Marae, for what was possibly the
final salute of this elite group
of World War II veterans, was
especially poignant. Tears fell from
many eyes.

WAI-ORA TRUST
Since 1981, Wai-ora Trust has worked to
help people grow, find employment and learn
to care for the environment. Located on a
picturesque seven acre property near the
Christchurch airport, Wai-ora offers a diverse
set of programmes to the equally diverse
communities it serves.
The Trust received a grant of $56,500 in
June 2009 for administration, salaries,
volunteer costs and minor capital works.
To help encourage a healthy lifestyle, they offer
access to free garden plots where community
groups and individuals can grow their own
veggies. The gardens are available to everyone
and seeds, tools and support are all provided.
Participants are taught organic growing
techniques, and get a chance to socialise,
exercise and learn about a healthy diet.
They also offer a state-of-the-art fitness
centre that caters to people who are
concerned about improving or maintaining
their health, but may be put off or intimidated
by the atmosphere and costs of a mainstream
gym. Services include fitness assessments,
personal training, cardiovascular and strength
building equipment, and fitness plans that
encourage members to reach their goals.
Located 20km north of Christchurch, Waiora
also offers access to Rakautara Camp,
a place to get away from it all. Visitors to the
campsite can explore the hundreds of acres
of native bush and farmland, go snorkelling
or fishing, or simply chill out. It is a perfect
place for community groups to get together,
for wha- nau to celebrate or for a relaxing
weekend away from stress.
Wai-ora also provides a therapeutic
horticulture programme called Mara
Whakatutangata, which means “the garden
that makes people stand upright.” The
‘Enabling Gardens’ cater to a wide variety
of people, from various backgrounds
and abilities, who take part in social and
therapeutic activities that address cognitive
and physical impairments. By growing a
variety of different plants and taking part in
structured activities, participants can learn
and grow in a relaxing and safe environment.

CACTUS CHALLENGES
KIDS
The Combined Adolescent Challenge Training
Unit & Support (CACTUS) programme
pushes Wairoa’s youth to their physical and
mental limits.
Based on training developed by the armed
forces, CACTUS helps young people learn
discipline, builds self-esteem and teaches
them the importance of teamwork. It
also provides career education, and uses
motivational speakers and mentoring to help
young people realise their potential.
CACTUS programmes are held twice a
year and run for eight weeks, each week
bringing more challenging tasks. At the end
of the programme, participants take part in
a graduation ceremony, aptly named ‘The
Longest Day,’ which presses the kids to the

edge of their abilities. This hard-out finale
drives the youngsters to reach their physical
goals, both individually and as a team.
Although the Youth Court can direct
offenders to take part in the programme,
CACTUS is not about counselling or saving
wayward youth. CACTUS assists all young
people with setting and realising their goals,
and gives them challenges they normally
would not get. It is designed to instil basic
discipline and provide guidelines outside the
home environment.
Wairoa Community Development Trust, which
acts as an umbrella organisation, received
a grant of $39,000 from the Hawke's
Bay Community Committee. Funding will
help the Trust complete two programmes
in 2009, covering trainer costs, uniforms,
administration, workshops, graduation
ceremonies, venue hire and food.

Manawatu / Whanganui Community
THE BEAUTIFUL GAME
OF MANY COLOURS
The Beautiful Game in all its colours received
assistance to reach Palmerston North with
a grant of $4000 from the Manawatu/
Whanganui Committee.
Ethkick09, a soccer tournament for teams
representing different ethnicities, was held in
March after discussions amongst community
leaders, sporting services and social services
on how to promote positive engagement with
Manawatu’s ethnic communities.
They found that most migrant communities
are interested in – and play – soccer, the
most popular game in the world.
Seven-aside matches were played by teams
based on country of origin or ethnic group
and were run along World Cup lines with pool
play, quarters, semis and a final.
In a celebration of the district’s cultural
diversity (there are more than 100 ethnic
groups living in the Manawatu), hundreds
turned out on a fine weekend to support

the 39 teams, which included players from
Japan, Indonesia, Korea, the Sikh community,
Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bengal, Nepal, Pakistan,
England, Cambodia, Fiji, South America
and Romania.
Three new communities in Palmerston North
– former refugees from Congo, Burma and
Bhutan – also fielded teams.
The event had a festive air with food stalls and
entertainment between matches. Communities
that had been isolated mixed with their fellow
citizens to enjoy the universal game.
After more than 100 games were played,
Oman were declared the winners of the
serious grade and the Thirsty Camels from
Saudi Arabia the winners of the social grade.
Seeing so many different cultures, many of
whom have difficulties which each other in
their home countries, coming together for this
competition was a great experience for all.
So popular was Ethkick09 that we can all
look forward to Ethkick10!

Northland Community Committee
THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF
BROADWOOD
With support from the Lottery Northland
Community Committee by way of a $29,645
grant, Broadwood now has a community centre.
About 40 kilometres southwest of Kaitaia,
Broadwood has a school, an A and P hall, two
churches and a fire station. It is an hour away
from the bright lights, and there is not a lot
for young people to do.
Planning to fix that, energetic local volunteers
have been renovating an old Dalgety’s store
to serve as a gym so younger Broadwoodians
can have somewhere to go to let off steam
and keep fit.

The old building, which will also serve as a
community centre, has been re-roofed and
re-wired, and is now waterproof.
Next on the list is to line the building, install
keep fit equipment and design challenging
gym programmes for teenagers and suitable
routines for people aged seven to 75 years.
The restored building is going to be much
more than a gym. It will also serve as a
meeting venue and gathering place for locals
and residents of surrounding communities.
Broadwood is an active community that puts
out a newsletter every month to let the far
flung community know what’s going on locally.
The new community centre will allow the
community to flourish and function a whole
lot better in future.

EMBRACING SOUTHERN
DIVERSITY
From its rolling green plains to its rugged
coastline, Southland offers up a wealth
of variety - not only geographically, but
culturally as well.
Since 1998, Southland Multi-Nations
Council Inc has been working to promote
and protect the interests and aims of
ethnic people living in, and migrating to, the
Southland region.
The Council, which is based in Invercargill,
has received the support of the Otago /
Southland Community Committee since
its inception.
In 2008/09, funding of $12,000 was
provided for the salary of a coordinator. This
funding has enabled their information centre
and office to remain open for six hours per
day, increasing access for the region’s
ethnic people.
Lottery Grants Record 2008–2009
During his time as Council President, Brian
Bellett recalls working with people from
over ninety different nationalities living
in Southland, and with the wider ethnic
communities in the country through the
Federation of Ethnic Councils, the Council’s
national body.
“Our aim is to make Southland a safe and
welcoming place for newcomers, where
we can all learn to appreciate, enjoy and
celebrate our cultural differences and
diversity. We are all migrants in this country,
and as our ancestors were welcomed and
supported by local Ma- ori, so we continue
the tradition today.”
Southland Multi-Nations works to welcome
and assist newcomers, provide settlement
assistance and educate migrants about the
New Zealand lifestyle and culture. They also
organise activities that celebrate cultural
diversity and produce a monthly newsletter,
The Rainbow Quill, which reaches over 700
organisations and individuals.
The Council is an important point of contact
for new migrants and they have become an
integral part of the support network available
for all of Southland’s ethnic communities.

The group has been a recipient of grants
from the Taranaki Community Committee
since 2006, and received $9,500 in 2008
towards lighting, stage and sound hire, and
travel expenses. It wasn't spent in that year
because of the devastating fire at the disused
freezing works in Patea, which caused the
cancellation of the Paepae when asbestos
blew into the town.
Apart from the sheer enjoyment of the
day and the chance to come together and
celebrate being Kiwis, it is a great opportunity
for the Patea community to raise funds for

OPERATION COVER-UP
The golden years of senior life can lose their
glow for many older women who become
widows, whose family live elsewhere or who
just find they have fewer comings and goings
in their lives than before.
In the Waikato town of Cambridge, with a
grant of $1,500 from the Lottery Waikato
Community Committee, Operation Cover-Up
organises a fortnightly get-together of about
80 knitters in a church lounge, where they
knit blankets for orphans of Romania,
Moldova and Ukraine.
The women love the companionship and
doing something useful for others. They really
appreciate the opportunity to get out and
socialise. “It gives me a reason to get up in
the morning,” one of the knitters said.
The group is comprised mainly of elderly
women, but there are some younger women
who, because of disability, need the care of
living in a rest home. The knitting sessions
give them companionship and something
meaningful to do.
Twice a year they hold a special morning tea
with a colourful display of all the blankets,
which measure 1.8 x 1.3 metres and are
made up of peggy squares and strips.
Members of the knitting group have viewed,
and been deeply moved by, DVDs of children
each receiving their own special blanket. For
the orphans, who have nothing to call their
own, these are precious.
Operation Cover-Up has used its grant to
replenish its wool cupboard and carry on
the good work of keeping seniors involved in
their community and orphans warm in their
beds at night.

Wellington / Wairarapa Community
SHARED PLANTING
BRINGS A FINE CROP
When community organisations form
partnerships, share knowledge and work
together, the results often bear fruit. In the
case of Mokai Kainga Ma- ori Centre and
Operation Green Thumb, many fruits and
veggies have grown from the seeds of
good planning.
Operation Green Thumb was established in
1994 to help set up new community gardens
to grow low-cost food. The programme,
which received a grant of $9,280 from the
Wellington/Wairarapa Community Committee,
has 90 plots across Wellington. They try to
keep the gardens as organic as possible, run
a small seed bank and publish a gardening
calendar with information specific to growing
in Wellington's unique conditions.
Mokai Kainga Ma- ori Centre received a grant
of $20,000 to provide health, welfare and
education services to Ma- ori in the Wellington
City area. Since 1986, the Centre has been
delivering social services for Ma- ori, by Ma- ori.
They offer short-term emergency housing, an
alternative learning centre, advocacy services
and holiday programmes.
As a result of their strong partnerships with
Wellington City Council, Mokai Kainga was
given permission to utilise several acres of
feral land behind the Centre in Happy Valley.
Unused by the Council, the hillside had been
neglected for many years and was covered
with rubbish and overrun by gorse.
Mokai Kainga and Green Thumb brought
their knowledge and resources together,
got stuck in, cleared the land and did away
with the rubbish. As result of their hard work,
dedication and expertise, what was once an
abused, overgrown plot is now a well-used
community resource featuring community
gardens, stone pathways, cosy benches and
a landscaped pond.

West Coast/Nelson Community Committee
LITTLE ITALY OF THE
SOUTH
After fund-raising and hard work by its
members, and grants totalling $38,000
from the West Coast / Nelson-Marlborough
Community Committee, the Italia Club has
renovated its Nelson clubhouse and created
a garden for the enjoyment of its members
and the wider community.
Italians originally came to the top of the
South Island at the end of the 19th century
to escape poverty and lack of opportunity in
their homeland.
Though they are now thoroughly integrated
with mainstream New Zealand, they feel it is
important to keep their customs and values
alive and teach their children about their
background. They also want to share their
culture with other Nelsonians.
Club Italia, established in 1931, offers
Nelson’s Italians a place to meet, play cards
and quaff a glass of wine. It celebrates
spring and religious festivals, and supports
community activities – sports and social –
which originally helped newcomers become
part of local life.
In 2008, the club received $28,000 of
Lottery funds for Stage 1 of its project,
which was to create an outdoor area that
would be safe for children. A perimeter fence
with a security gate was erected around a
landscaped area with a playground and food
preparation facilities.
The garden was planted with lime, lemon and
olive trees, the fruits of which are essential
ingredients for Italian cooking. An old fishing
boat that harks back to the early immigrants’
livelihoods as fishermen was placed in the
garden for the bambini to play in.
The outdoor cooking area boasts a hugewood-fired
pizza oven as well as a barbecue
– working symbols of both Italian and Kiwi
food traditions.
The club has just been granted $10,000 to
upgrade its community hall for the use of its
members and other ethnic or migrant groups.
The improved facilities will enable Club Italia
to help new Kiwi Italians adjust to life in
New Zealand and share their culture with the
wider community.
With the help of Lottery funds, this hardworking
ethnic community is able to support
others as well as themselves.

60 Ma- ori, Cook Island, Niuean, Samoan
and Tongan school cultural groups gave
passionate performances competing for their
schools. Creative New Zealand supports
Polyfest through its contestable funding
programme.
New Zealand Children and
Youth Circus
For two weeks in May, the strains of circus
music and the sight of children learning to
juggle, clown, dance and perform acrobatics
transformed Te Uku primary school in Raglan.
Loud applause filled the air when the kids
displayed their new circus skills to the rest
of their school and wha- nau on the last day
of term. The programme was run by the
New Zealand Children and Youth Circus
and funded by the Raglan Community Arts
Council and Creative New Zealand’s Creative
