Lake Taupō Hospice - Let’s Build project wrap-up: a community effort to celebrate

Written By Kim Manunui

The Livingstone Let’s Build project has come to a close, and it’s fair to say the community has plenty to be proud of. The house built through this partnership of local trades, suppliers, and supporters sold for an incredible $220,000. We’re delighted to have been a part of this.

What made this project special wasn’t just the build itself, but the way people pitched in. Some donated materials, others offered discounted services, and many simply helped wherever they could. Every bit of support added up, and because of that generosity, a large portion of the sale will go straight to Lake Taupō Hospice, supporting the care provided to patients and their whānau.

Let’s Build began as an idea, but it quickly became a real community effort - people working together, sharing skills, and creating something meaningful for Taupō. Lake Taupō Hospice is deeply grateful to everyone who played a part in making it happen. At Korio, we helped lead the communications on this project. We assisted with strategy, social media, website, and content creation. It was so exciting to visit the site throughout the process and see how this project was progressing at each stage. We were so thrilled with the incredible response from the public and with the outstanding result at auction, seeing so much money raised for the Lake Taupō Hospice.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
