The current “harden up, stay staunch and let’s not talk about it” attitude is a problem. By changing this attitude, lives will be saved. Every dollar raised enables Mike to continue his vital work with communities across NZ.
The Appliance Shed is leading a fundraising campaign to support Mike King's Key To Life Trust. Read more about the long-standing relationship Appliance Shed has with Mike King here
The Key to Life Trust equips our nation's young people to check in on their mates and remind them it’s okay to ask for help. It’s important we all feel valued and know that someone has our backs when times are tough. Please donate and make a difference in your community.
Thank you for your support!

Is an important day. 10:00 a.m. Carterton Events Centre - WAG will be presenting our submission on the proposed massive rate hike for Wairarapa flood protection over the next ten years. Come along and support the team. Our approach is the usual one of defining the problem but also proposing a way forwards that could help solve it - so we hope GWRC will see this in a positive light but having support in the room plays a very big part of the outcome. Some people will be over the hill and far away but if you're this side of the hill, come along for an hour and hear and cheer. There will also be quite a number of other local folks and organisations presenting today and it will be very interesting to hear them too.
See you there Carterton Events Centre, around 10 o'clock onwards.
