Cedar Primary School needs a playground - Vivian's neighborhood project

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $400 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 210 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in September and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $400 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Tools hire and delivery: $35 • Materials: $310 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Vivian

    Went above and beyond

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
