Fundraising update

22 Jul

One of our trustees Merv Huxford completed a sterling bike ride recently which proved to be a significant fundraiser for Youth in Transition.

Our local Op shop in Manly, The Hope Shop is continuing to be a huge success. Since it’s opening on 6th July 2019, we have raised over $25,000, which is awesome. On Saturday 4th July we celebrated its first birthday and ran a raffle raising $800 towards our mentoring project.

We are making good progress with the joint CYC Trust Coast Mentoring Programme. Caitlin Watson has been employed to co-ordinate this. We have partnered with Upside Mentoring who are a well-established youth mentoring organisation to assist us in delivering the program. Already 20 local mentors have signed up for the program.

In July we received a substantial grant from the Lindsay Foundation which will be life changing for many of your young people. In addition we received a major donation from local businessman and long-term YIT supporter Barnie Bredl which is a wonderful partner and supporter. We also received grants from BlueSky Community Trust and United Way NZ which helped us navigate the first and second wave of Covid 19 pressures.

The Inner Wheel Ladies group and local Lions have continued to support us financially and during July we enjoyed meeting with them. In addition, the husbands of the Millwater Ladies group known as ‘The Romeos’ are hosting a fundraising game show to assist us in November.

It really is tremendous to experience all of this community love and support!

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project. Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth. And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
