When community organisations receive funding, it’s not just money, it’s trust.

Every grant, donation, or contribution represents someone saying YES! I back your vision! With that support comes a responsibility to:

• Be transparent
• Report honestly
• Use funds carefully and intentionally
• Deliver outcomes that reflect community priorities

Once you’ve had the go ahead for your project, and the funds have helped make it happen, you’ve got to take the last step with 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮.

It means keeping clear records, making sure the funding is spent as promised and communication is regular and open.

It’s been a theme for us this month and it’s very much a behind the scenes task, but important – because it’s about keeping a good partnership going with trust so we can keep our vision going to serve our community.

Strong communities are built on strong relationships and accountability helps protect those relationships. … See MoreSee Less

We’re now officially in the 30-day countdown to TriStars

A big thank you to:
Hauraki District Council

So grateful for local support (and looking forward to coffees on the sidelines and ice cream and the finish line).

Behind the scenes, medals and certificates are being finalised, spot prizes are being sorted, and we’re lining up everything needed for a smooth race day.

We’re also looking for volunteers to help:
🏊 In the pool
🚲 At transition
🚦 As course marshals

Wanna be part of the day, flick us a message.

You can also check out the full event details on our Events page for course info, age groups, and what to expect on the day.

We’d love to see as many local kids involved as possible — it’s all about giving it a go.

Hauraki Plains Community Hub is attending an event.

2 weeks ago

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲: 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁

How far do they ride???

The TriStars bike leg takes place around the outskirts of the Hugh Hayward Domain, on a clearly marked loop that keeps kids safely away from traffic. Bikes are collected from the transition area near the cricket nets before heading out onto the course.

Distances are designed to suit different ages and confidence levels.

• Tiny TriStars: approximately 1.25km (1 lap)
• Rising Rockets: approximately 2.5km (2 laps)
• Super Novas: approximately 3.75km (3 laps)

Kids follow cones, arrows, and volunteers around the course, riding at their own pace.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗸𝗲-𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝘁? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗸𝗮𝘆.
TriStars also offers Splash and Dash options, where kids go straight from swimming to running with no bike required.

𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

🚲 Make sure bikes are in good working order (brakes and tyres checked)
🪖 Transition volunteers will make sure helmets are compulsory and must be fastened before riding
🚲 Practising a relaxed loop beforehand helps build confidence
🪖 Remind kids to slow down near the transition area and listen to volunteers

We’ll keep sharing tips for each part of the event as we head closer to race day.
