Supporters
"There is a crack in everything... that's how the light gets in..."
Anthem, Leonard Cohen
The Supporters Fund is separate from the day-to-day running costs of the Cottage which we have fabulous funders for.
Very often, kind hearted people want to help, however they don't know where or how to direct
their financial support. If you like to donate locally within New Zealand, the Cottage Project could be of interest to you.
How can I help?
Waltham Community Cottage is a registered charity and is reliant on the kindness and generosity of individuals and organisations for its continued service.
