A new festival launched to fund a mental health charity could become an annual fixture in Cambridge.

We speak exclusively in the Waikato Business News, out this week, to the man whose vision it is to raise $10,000 for Mike King’s I Am Hope mental health crusade.

His Cambridge Festival of Sport will run at the end of the month.

Also featured is a story about a Te Awamutu student who won at the recent Young Enterprise awards in Hamilton.

Waikato Business News, published by Good Local Media and a sister publication to Cambridge News and Te Awamutu News, will be distributed extensively throughout Waipā for the first time.

There are several points of difference in the revamped paper, including its layout and new masthead.

Good Local Media owner David Mackenzie said it was the culmination of several weeks’ work. Mackenzie said readers would recognise names like editor Roy Pilott and senior writers Mary Anne Gill and Viv Posselt, journalist Jeremy Smith and the rest of the experienced Good Local team.

“It’s exciting to see something that we’ve worked so hard on come to fruition.”
