The old Freedom bus depot needs a playground - Daniel's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Wellington are raising $2,250 for a playground at the old Freedom bus depot.
🇳🇿 New Zealand821 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Freedom bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $410, and the remaining cost is $2,250.
It will serve about 413 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $2,250 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $220
• Materials: $1,700
• Permits and inspections: $330
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
