Huge THANK YOU to FreshChoice Mandeville and all those who voted for us! First place means another $1000 towards fixing the pool! 😍😇🙂

💙 THE FINAL COUNT IS IN! 💙

Another round of FreshChoice Mandeville Community Shout is done, and a huge thank you to all our locals who got behind these fantastic community groups!

🥇 Cust Community Swimming Pool takes out the top spot!
🥈 Clarkville School
🥉 Cust Toy Library

We love seeing those tokens build up each week, and the best part is that every group receives a share of our Community Shout funding.

Thank you to everyone who voted and supported these brilliant local organisations. This is exactly what Community Shout is all about. 💙

Local supporting local.

It's been a fabulous washing day!! We recommend washing our tea-towels before first use for maximum performance 😍.

Dry the dishes. Fill the pool!! - Every towel sold puts money straight into the repair fund for the Cust Community Pool!

Our tea-towels have been designed and sourced right here in New Zealand, in two designs featuring historic local areas and road names.

They are 100% Organic Cotton and have been dyed using water-based inks which means this is a tea towel that is both absorbent and made to last.

The Cust Pool tea-towels make excellent Christmas presents, keepsakes to frame or if you like, you can just use it as a tea towel! We've tested them and can confirm they will actually dry the dishes!

You can pre-order your towels now on our website: https://custpool.co.nz/tea-towels
Orders close 4th October - Delivery early November.

A BIG thank you to those who came out to help with the hedge clearing working bee today! It raised another $500 to go towards saving the pool!

Although we are applying for grants to help us reach our final target, its important to understand that many organisations will only award grants when they are satisfied that that the community has shown commitment to saving the pool by participating in fundraising activities, so helping out with events like this or buying into our fundraisers such as our fabulous organic tea towels are vitally important! 😇
