Fundraisers
The Friends of Resthaven Foundation Trust has an
exciting 'Market Day' fundraiser for Summer 2024!
It's a day for the whole community to get involved, and the proceeds will go towards equipment for the Cambridge Resthaven care centres.
Date: Saturday 17 February 2024
Time: 9am - 1pm
Location: Payne Park (by the Cambridge Water Tower, next to Cambridge Resthaven)
A fun day for the whole community to enjoy whether you are on the hunt for something special or just happy to browse, maybe looking for something practical, adding some bling to your wardrobe, searching for that bargain, or discovering a treasure!
There will be a stall with groovy second-hand nearly new items, plus a variety of other stalls. There will be music, food, coffee, face painting, and raffles too.
Love a good raffle? We will have a raffle or two at the market. One is for a fabulous premium Kāpiti Cheese Hamper pictured below, thanks to the awesome support of Fonterra South Waikato|Waipā Hapori
(NB. some items in hamper may vary according to availability).

'Project RESTHAVAN' - 2021
June 2021
Cambridge High School's amazing Extension 4 class have launched the 'Project ResthaVAN' to help fundraise $70,000 for Cambridge Resthaven for a van!
In the words of the Extension 4 team...
"The main focus of our campaign is to raise funds for a van for Resthaven Cambridge. Hence the name, ResthaVAN.
We have a heap of things planned! Such as a Bingo Night at Resthaven and the Extension 4 Showcase.
Be sure to keep posted on our social media to live the journey alongside us. Our planned events will lead up to our final, main event - a town wide dress-up day themed "Thrifty Fifties" - which will happen on Thursday 5th of August. Extension 4 will be asking help from the business of Cambridge, who we hope will kindly donate to our van fundraiser and get amongst the fun and joy, as we take Cambridge back in time. We also encourage the public to get amongst it.
However, our ambitions do not end there. Yes, we want to help the senior residents who may be needing help in mobility. But there's far more to it than that. To put it simply, our mission is to build a relationship that enriches the lives of Cambridge High School students and the residents of Resthaven Cambridge."
