Supporters

BCN is very appreciative of the generosity and support from present and past donors, sponsors, members and funding organisations, which has enabled us to keep working towards our goals.  We acknowledge with sincere thanks the warm-hearted support that has been given by individuals and organisations.

 Since 1993 many women have joined BCN and given their time, financial support and bequests. Grants from the Lottery Grants Board and COGS Community Development Group have supported our part-time paid workers – an administrator, newsletter editor and designer. Several one-off grants and donations assisted with setting up the office with computer and other essential equipment and a number of companies have discounted their services to support our work.   

Neville Newcomb Ltd has consistently given a generous discount for production of Upfront U Kaiora – www.newcomb.co.nz.
Red Apple Design has also generously discounted their services – www.redapple.co.nz.
300 Richmond Road discounts our office rental http://300richmond.co.nz.

The First National Conference in 2007 brought new support in the form of one-off donations, sponsorship, and substantial grants, ensuring the conference would be a huge success. (See Conference report on Events page.)
Julie Lamb, daughter of Darien Kerkin, donates 10% of sales from her CDs and album, Most and Least, to Breast Cancer Network, which is very much appreciated. Julie says, “I have chosen this particular organisation primarily because my mum was their treasurer - and she appreciated the work done by them to devolve information and provide advocacy and support.” Julie’s website www.mostandleast.co.nz.
Martha-Louise of Manning Funerals is a supporter of BCN in honour of family members, manningfunerals.net.nz/contact.htm  

These much appreciated sponsorships, grants and donations have helped BCN with our projects and enabled us to share information and reach out to more women to effectively work towards our goals. Thank you.
