We're incredibly proud to shine a light on the amazing work happening in our community. Here’s a look at some of our past Belco Boost recipients.
Located just south of Katikati, Matahui School is a small primary and middle school for Year 1–8 students. They’ve been looking to upgrade their sound equipment for their biannual productions. We are very happy to be able to contribute towards their equipment, to support the school in putting on a fantastic show for the community!
Vada's Angels Animal Rescue rescues animals in need in the BOP region and provides them with a safe and loving environment until they find their forever homes. Let’s give a massive round of applause to the winners of our November Belco Boost. They work closely with local animal shelters and veterinarians to ensure that every animal receives the care they need. Their team also provides education and resources to the community on responsible pet ownership and animal welfare.
We are so proud to support the incredible passion and effort of this volunteer-based team. We encourage anyone looking for a new pet (primarily dogs) to check out their animals available for adoption. Or consider supporting their cause by fostering, making a donation, or simply spreading the word about their amazing work.
Much appreciation to this wonderful team that give up their own time to support animals in need.
Renaturing Katikati is a community-led volunteer group working to restore the precious flora and fauna in Katikati's urban public spaces.
Thank you to the volunteers at Renaturing Katikati, for your exceptional commitment and the significant positive impact you make!
CanSurf provides a respite weekend to young people from CanTeen, a peer support network for young people and siblings living with cancer. The camp is held at Waihi Beach in November each year, and relies on volunteers, community partnerships and donations.
To the volunteers and business owners who create this unforgettable experience: You are truly amazing!

A huge round of applause for our July Belco Boost winners: All 4 Love Tga!
Run by the incredible Kam, this non-profit is a true pillar of support for young families in Tauranga. Kam works tirelessly to gather new and gently used clothing, baby items, toys, and special treats for caregivers. Each item is thoughtfully bundled into beautiful care packages, which are then distributed to families facing hardship via trusted partners such as midwives, social workers, and Plunket.
Thank you, All 4 Love Tga, for your vital work in our community!
