Winter Warmth Appeal, Kawerau
We started out of the old Plunket rooms on Islington Street eight years ago, packing hampers for families who'd had a rough run with the mill layoffs. These days we run three appeals a year and still do the packing ourselves on a Tuesday night.

The work
The trust is run by five local volunteers, most of us retired teachers or mill workers, with two part-time coordinators who handle referrals from the schools and Work and Income. Every dollar raised in Kawerau stays in Kawerau.
“They turned up with a box of groceries and a bag of firewood the same week I rang, no fuss about it.”
