Community Momentum

Helping the organisations that help our community.



Every month, Momentum Business Support will donate one FREE 6-hour Business Health Check and Business Improvement Session to a Hawke's Bay charity, not-for-profit, sports club or community organisation.

Running a community organisation is hard work. You're busy helping others, often with limited volunteers, time and funding.

That's where we can help.

We'll spend a full day working alongside your committee or management team to identify what's working well, uncover opportunities to improve, and help put practical systems in place so your organisation can spend less time on administration and more time making a difference.



Because stronger organisations create stronger communities.

What's Included

Your Community Momentum session includes:

✅ Comprehensive Business Health Check

✅ Review of current systems and processes

✅ Administration and productivity review

✅ Digital presence review (website, Google, social media)

✅ Practical recommendations prioritised by impact

✅ Hands-on implementation during the session where possible

✅ Action plan with next steps

Value: Approximately $900

Cost: Absolutely FREE.
