Health research funds welcome your donation

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Demands on the health system mean research is often a low priority for government funding.

Various trusts therefore exist to facilitate health research, and three of them have philanthropic funds at Momentum Waikato that welcome public donations.

The Waikato Sick Babies Trust supports neonatal research and staff development in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Waikato Hospital.

The Waikato Medical Research Foundation backs small innovative research projects and builds local capacity.

The Vision Research Foundation brings about life-changing discoveries by supporting research beyond ‘safe and incremental’.

What do you think of this new housing option?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A program to move people out of rentals and give them a sense of security with housing has been launched in Te Awamutu.

Twenty new two bedroom townhouses on Ohaupo Rd are available to buy at $291,750 - less than half the market price.

The catch is - you don’t own the land but hold a 100-year lease.

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.

It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
