While looking around for a local community project they could support, Mahurangi College students decided to get behind the restoration and refurbishment of the Town Hall.
The College 14-member student executive unanimously decided to sponsor one of the historic chairs on the mezzanine floor for the sum of $500.
Students organised a talent show to raise the cash.
There are 42 chairs on the mezzanine, which date back to 1930. There are now just seven chairs left remaining to be sponsored.
Sponsors can have a plaque affixed to the back of the chair to acknowledge their contribution.
Long-time town hall supporter Cunitia Wilkinson said it was nice to see young people support the Town Hall, as they would be the ones to benefit from it in the future.
