To the awesome crews at Fortitude and Tilyards β thank you for making our big move smooth and seamless. ππͺ
We are also incredibly grateful to Lotto NZ, the NZ Lottery Grants Board and Foundation North for their continued support β your contributions help make this all possible. π
A huge thank you to our dedicated team and board, whose hard work and vision drive everything we do. And to our incredible volunteers who show up each day with passion and purpose. We appreciate each and every one of you.β€οΈ
