Recipients for the MainPower Community Fund have been announced with $10,000 to be shared between Wellbeing North Canterbury and the North Canterbury Riding for the Disabled.
The initiative, in its inaugural year, was introduced to inject important funds into local groups including charitable organisations, cultural organisations and schools. Local residents were encouraged to visit the MainPower website and nominate the groups they believe should receive support.
“MainPower is committed to supporting local communities; the community fund is a great opportunity to put the power in the hands of our customers. We asked the people of North Canterbury and Kaikoura for help on which groups needed funding support the most and they responded to our call in the thousands” commented MainPower Chief Executive Bruce Emson.
Wellbeing North Canterbury is a charitable trust that provides support services to families and communities across the Waimakariri and Hurunui Districts. Their professional team, which includes 120 volunteers, empowers family and whānau to overcome difficulties such as family crisis, loneliness, stress and anxiety through a variety of services including counselling, community youth work, food bank, restorative justice and youth drug and alcohol support.
Wellbeing Manager Deirdre Ryan is passionate about connecting with the community and growing wellbeing within individuals, families and communities. “Like any charitable organisation we have a funding gap that we need to fill each year. We are extremely grateful to receive $6,500 in funding from the MainPower Community Fund. It will help us to continue to deliver our valuable support services to the local community” said Ryan.
North Canterbury Riding for the Disabled is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation that provides opportunities for anyone with a disability to enjoy safe, healthy, stimulating, therapeutic horse riding and horse-related activities. Chairman Des Moore was surprised to discover that the organisation had been successful and even more pleased to hear that they would receive funding of $3,500.
“It will make a significant difference to our organisation, this is much needed money that we haven’t budgeted for so it tops up our funding just nicely” said Moore. The organisation plans to use the money to contribute towards their relocation to a permanent riding facility adjacent to the Rangiora Showgrounds on Millton Avenue.
MainPower’s Chief Executive congratulated both fund recipients and reiterated that their success was due entirely to the support and good will they received from their local communities.
