Support Project Play at Matamata Domain at the Matamata Community Op Shop!

From Saturday, 5th April, Project Play will be running the Matamata Community Op Shop for the week! This is a fantastic opportunity for us to raise funds for the Matamata Domain Playground Upgrade, and we’d love your support.

How you can help:
• Donate your good-quality, unused items – drop them off to us at the shop!
• Shop with us and grab a bargain while supporting a great cause.
• Buy a raffle ticket – just $10 per ticket for a chance to win a $1,000 New World voucher!

We’re a small committee of just six volunteers, all juggling work and family commitments, so if you’d like to help out in the shop, we’d love extra hands! Let us know if you can spare a few hours.

Come down, say hello, and support the future of play in Matamata!
