We need your help!

We have had a horrendous experience over the past 3 years. Despite a very capable and committed School Board - this is where we ended up https://www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/350418423/pile-tyres-and-weeds-all-show-150000-three-year-playground-dream

This is your opportunity to make a difference - help us make our communities dream come true! We need a new school playground / nature play area and sensory space. We have a committed and capable community who are raring to go and we have the design underway. We need some help with applying for grants and fundraising. You will work as part of a motivated, fun and energetic team to get an awesome outcome for our kids and wider community!

What we have in place:

• A school playground team
• A design team
• A liaison person - Principal of School (Sally Ormandy)
• A capable and keen community
• Connections with various funding providers
• Resourceful and supportive Board of Trustees and PTA (Home and School)
• You will have full access to information and documentation you require to write compelling applications and will work closely with the Principal on this.
• https://www.opawa.school.nz/ is our school website
• https://www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/350418423/pile-tyres-and-weeds-all-show-150000-three-year-playground-dream

What we need you to do!
Over the next 5-6 months, we need keen volunteers to assist us in applying for grants and fundraising to help make our school dreams possible. The job will involve meeting with the school liasion, followed by establishing a spreafsheet of possible funding organisations - followed by applying to relevant organisations for funding.

We would love your help! The hours are flexible and can be done remotely.
