Ian Maxwell Shares Key Insights on Radio Wanaka

Last week, Ian Maxwell — Chair of Community Link Upper Clutha — joined the team on Radio Wānaka to talk about the remarkable community support shown during our recent campaigns, including the Christmas Fundraising campaign that saw overwhelming generosity from locals.

In the interview, Ian highlighted the simple but powerful message behind our Christmas fundraising efforts: everyone can make a difference. He explained how funds raised including local donations totalling tens of thousands of dollars are being put straight back into frontline support services for individuals, families, and seniors facing hardship.

Listeners also heard about how the Community Link team works with volunteers and partners across the Upper Clutha to respond quickly and effectively to community needs. Ian’s message was clear that every act of kindness, whether big or small, contributes to building a stronger, more resilient community.

We encourage you to listen to the full interview on the Radio Wānaka website and join us in continuing this vital support for those who need it most.
