Getting kids moving is one of the aims of the Richmond Waimea Toy Library, and with help from our Community Grants Scheme, they can get more on the move.
The Toy Library lends games, puzzles and interactive toys to keep youngsters entertained and active, with borrowers able to hire up to 10 items at a time.
The library that operates from 20c Gladstone Road, next to Jubilee Park, received nearly $1,000 in last year’s round of grants. The money helped purchase exciting new toys for tamariki in an initiative called ‘Get Kids Moving’.
The library says the support had a real impact and strengthened their ability to connect with local whānau, grow the toy collection, and keep play accessible for everyone in our community.
The Richmond Waimea Toy Library is open three days a week; Tuesdays 9.30 pm – 12.30 pm, Thursdays 2.00 pm – 4.00 pm, and Saturdays 9.30 am – 12.30 pm.
If your group or organisation is looking for financial assistance, it may be eligible for money from our Community Grants Scheme.
These grants support organisations whose work brings value to our communities, enhancing well-being and helping Tasman thrive.
Funding can go towards one-off projects, service delivery, project development, and partial administration costs.
Applications open on 1 May and close on 31 July each year. Find out more about our Community Grants.(external link)
