Certainly, this is the motivation which is causing Richard and his wife to be actively considering leaving a gift to the Northern Wairoa Fund in their respective wills. Richard states: “It’s a painless way of leaving a legacy for future generations of Northlanders and I would encourage all Northlanders to do this. It doesn’t have to be to the Foundations general fund, it can be for a cause you feel passionate about, for example literacy in your local schools, or for a sport you want to see flourish. It’s also worth pointing out that history has taught us that if we don’t take steps to look after ourselves, then nobody else is going to do it for us.”If anybody is living in the Northern Wairoa area and wants to discuss the concept of the Northern Wairoa Fund further, feel free to give Richard a call on 094395133, or ring the Northland Community Foundation.Article by Richard Alspach (Trustee of the Northland Community Foundation and Committee driver of the Northern Wairoa Fund).
