Comments
Thank you for your enquiry. I have contacted Te Puni Kokiri and was informed that there is no funding currently available under the Maara Kai Fund but that will be reviewed in the new financial year in early July.
Where is your Papakainga? We may be able to help with advice, planning and contacts. You may like to email our office directly on soozee@ecocentre.co.nz
Or, should you be near Kaikohe, we will be at the Kaikohe A and P Show tomorrow - Saturday January 8. Look out for the Far North Environment banner and that of our partners, Tai Tokerau Organics (TOPIS), with whom we are sharing a stall.
Cheers,
Soozee
