We caught up with Ian Maxwell, Chair of Upper Clutha Community Link, to talk about their powerful “Everyone Can” campaign and the huge community response.
The idea was simple – everyone can help, no matter how big or small. And locals absolutely stepped up, helping raise an impressive $60,000 to support people right across the Upper Clutha.
Ian explained how the funds will go straight back into frontline services, supporting families, individuals and whānau when they need it most. From food support to emergency help, this money will make a real difference on the ground.
It’s a great reminder of what can happen when a community rallies together. Every donation, share and show of support counted.
