Wellsford Plunket has received a $5000 boost to upgrade its Plunket building thanks to a donation from the local Mike Pero team.Wellsford Plunket has been revived after years of inactivity and a dedicated group has been working to revamp the Rodney Street building.
New Plunket coordinator Tania Hamilton says the funding will help to renovate the kitchen in the building, which is in dire need of an upgrade.
Tania says the support from the community has been amazing – the Wellsford Lions donated $500 to build a pram and wheelchair ramp for the building, the roof has been repaired by Right Now Roofing and trees on the property have been pruned thanks to Orang-Otang Tree Trimmers.
Mike Pero franchise owners Andrew Steens and Angela Wain say Tania has done a fantastic job rejuvenating the service.
“We’ve known Tania for several years and always admired her enthusiasm and sense of community,” Andrew says. “Plunket is dear to our hearts and one of our key values is that we like to see that kids get every chance in life from the start.”
Wellsford Plunket is holding an open Family Day on Sunday September 11 from 11am to 1pm, with a ‘ready, steady, wriggle’ active movement programme for children and messy play with paint.
