COPS 4 CCS “the longest beat” fund raising run/bike from Haast to Karamea
Mon 5 Nov to Fri 9TH Nov

COPS 4 CCS “the longest beat” fund raising run/bike from Haast to Karamea, so that everyone Coast wide can be part of this project. Members of the West Coast Police division will don running shoes and ride bikes and make their way from Haast, leaving on Mon 5th Nov proceeding up the entire West Coast amining to reach Karamea on Fri 9th Nov. The relay of policemaen will make overnight stops in Fox, Hari Hari, Greymouth and Westport along the way.

While the COPS 4 CCS make their way North, the fundraising team will be in towns, presenting functions and gathering collection tins that will be sent to hotels in the weeks preceding the event.

CCS – Disability Action West Coast has launched this regional fund raising campaign as a part of the “Welcome Home Appeal”.

Having been gifted land in Paroa, CCS, with the support of AJ Mooney Lockwood and Initial Homes, is building a three bedroom, three bathroom accessible home which will feature designs beyond those required to meet disability compliance. The holiday home will feature wheelchair access and bench heights, have accessible bathrooms, braille rugs and a hearing loop, and when finished will be available to all families on the Coast, especially those with members who have a disability, as a holiday retreat.

The total cost of the project is $345,000. Support has already been received from the CCS – Disability Action Canterbury West Coast head office in Christchurch, the Blackadder Trust and funds raised through a meet Sir Bob Jones evening.

The purpose of the COPS 4 CCS is to raise money, as much as we can and to involve the West Coast community in this worthwhile project. Our aim is to raise $100,000 and ensure that those in real need of a holiday get one.

Donations can be made from any ANZ Branch to the COPS 4 CCS Account.
