Cossie Club supports the local community

Upper Hutt Cosmopolitan Club

The Upper Hutt Cossie Club has made grants and donations to the local community totalling over $440,000 in the last 12 months.

The principal beneficiaries were the youth of Upper Hutt with 20 local residents aged between 16-21 years receiving $2500 Kick Start Scholarships to assist them to achieve their academic, cultural and sporting aspirations. Many local schools, kindergartens and sporting clubs also received grants.

The club is now accepting applications for this year’s scholarships. For more information please contact reception@cossieclubs.org.nz.

The club’s 2018 charity the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute which specialises in cancer research received $65,000 from fundraising activities held at the club. The club also invites non-profit organisations to apply to become the club’s 2019 charity. Please contact reception. Find out more!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
