Community groups, clubs and organisations are an important part of making the South Waikato a great place to live. Helping people within the community to connect with groups and organisations whether it be for the purpose of recreation, support or services is also really important to the South Waikato District Council.
Council’s Community Support team is focused on supporting “committed individuals and vibrant groups to create healthy and happy communities.”
This website is a tool to help the development of community organisations and their activities. It has been created to serve those groups and individuals that have a passion to make a difference in the district and also value the importance of community cooperation and cohesion.

Volunteer
South Waikato has a wonderful array of community groups who service the needs of the district. These groups are often made up of volunteers, which are an important part of the lifeblood of any community.
Support
As with any group most tend to be good at what they do and need support and assistance with other areas. Seeking this guidance is a positive step to strengthening your organisation.
Resources
Having the right resources is an essential part of a community group feeling equipped to promote and develop their organisation.
