Playcentre Aotearoa One-on-One Clinics
Come and talk to me and get answers to the questions you have about your grant application. Appointments are available to discuss advice on where to apply, how to word your application, what to include with your application and any other questions you may have about grants.
There are appointments available every Wednesday for Playcentres across New Zealand. Register for one appointment, or multiple, depending on the help you need.
Once you have booked an appointment, I will be in contact to organise a Zoom or phone call appointment for the time and date that you have booked.
Centre Discounts
View our website for more information on “Centre Discounts” with offers from several companies including the Playcentre shops, Red Cross, Harvey Norman, Resene and Ecostore.
Please note that these are not exclusive/approved suppliers or specific Playcentre recommendations and you are more than welcome to use a local option, especially if they are cheaper.
Financial Year End
With the end of the financial year fast approaching, please remember that many funders require a separate note in your accounts for each funder. This is often part of the terms and conditions for accepting the grant.
It is also important for centres that are registered charities to ensure their purpose, structure, officers, and rules on the Charities Register are up to date. Several centres still mention NZPF and Associations and this should be changed to Playcentre Aotearoa. It is also important that any centre that is a registered charity and an incorporated society has the same rules on both websites. Funders will look at your details online, and it is important that they are correct.
Grants Support
You can find lots of information to assist you with your funding applications on the Grants section of the Playcentre website (you need to first be logged in as a member) –
There is also a fundraising toolkit to help your centre with support and ideas for fundraising and how to make more money for your centre.
