House for Removal - $1 Reserve
19 August 2009
We own a house near Mount Maunganui, in a suburb called Omanu, and we plan to build an electricity substation there in the near future.
Powerco is committed to supporting the communities we operate in and we wanted to do something innovative for three great charities that our staff told us about.
So we thought it would be a great idea to auction the house and split 100% of the proceeds evenly between Canteen in Tauranga, Greenpark Primary School and Back Up NZ.
About the Charities:
Greenpark Primary School: Catering for all children including those with disabilities
CanTeen: Supporting young people living with cancer
Back Up New Zealand: Adventures for the Disabled
The Auction
A link to the auction is attached below - the auction closes on Thursday 27 August at 7.15pm.

CanTeen was established to ensure that no young person in New Zealand living with cancer should ever have to feel alone.
Living with cancer is traumatic at any time, but even more so for young people that are already facing challenges of identity, independence, education, relationships, intimacy and employment. The entire cancer experience including transitions from diagnosis, treatment, hospitalisation and remission is likely to threaten adolescent development and challenge the coping strategies of young cancer patients, their siblings, parents and friends.
Cancer is no longer a death sentence, but it can mean the start of a long process of treatment and years of uncertainty. Even survivors of childhood cancer may have reminders of their cancer experience to cope with during the complexities of adolescence.
Since its inception, CanTeen has had a clear focus on the needs of young people living with cancer. CanTeen’s foundation was built upon the fundamental belief that young people - through meeting, talking and sharing their experiences - would be better able to cope with the uncertainties of living with cancer.

The idea for Back-Up New Zealand was conceived when Jane Denton became involved with disabled skiing in 1993 while at Otago University. She witnessed skiing not only as a fun leisure activity, but also as a developmental catalyst for people who thought their sporting days were over or who had never felt able to begin with. The impact of their achievements on their self-esteem and confidence was indescribable.
Seeing the big effect the winter program had on peoples lives, she looked for summer activities offering the same opportunities.
She found very little provision for activities for people with disabilities within New Zealand and decided to establish a charity that offered people with disabilities the same opportunities as non-disabled people to develop personally using the outdoors as a catalyst. Jane retrained as an occupational therapist and went to work in Britain with the Back-Up Trust to gain experience.
The Back-Up Trust in the UK was set up in 1986 by champion skier Mike Nemesvary after he broke his neck training. Mike gathered the skiing and film community together and made an adaptive ski cart so he could go Back-Up the mountain. He found that the impact this had on his self-esteem was enormous and wanted to pass the benefits on to other people and the Back-Up Trust was created.
Every day people told Jane how much the charity had changed their lives and given them hope for the future. This experience empowered her to return home to create Back-Up New Zealand.
Jane brought two instructors experienced at working outdoors with people with disabilities, from Calvert Trust in Keswick, back to New Zealand. The Calvert Trust runs courses for the Back-Up Trust in the UK and offers other courses for 50 weeks of the year to people with every imaginable disability.
It is from these backgrounds and experiences that Back-Up New Zealand has been formed.
