How the he'll does a football club get given 1.7 million from a water safety foundation?
Are there other clubs getting that sort of cash?

That's a lot of money for one club.
Well it seems Internal affairs thinks it's their business.
From the headline I thought maybe they were investigating whether Lisa Pahl was man, woman or BEAST or something.

Would make sense if it was wharfies.

Your point? I think maybe this sort of thing is starting to be a little UNWISE.
But how does Lower Hutt get money from the pokies for Water Safety! Surely there are enough other ones that they could apply to for funding and the WATER safety foundation is at fault for giving this money out as well.
Thinking club move at the end of the year might be a good idea..
Basically the name of the trust is completely irrelevant.
The trust must distribute its proceeds according to its purposes, set out in its trust deed.
You can probably find the trust deed online.
It is pretty common to have a specific purpose (like water safety) and then a catch all charitable purpose. This gives the trustees wide discretion, and is pretty much standard practice for these sorts of "purpose trusts".
I see your point smithy but it still sounds a bit iffy to me. I know for a fact other football clubs have gone for grants from water safety nz and been turned down numerous times but by the looks of things when Lower Hutt applies they never fail. Nights pointed out the machines are in "Lower Hutts Pubs" but they don't even own them now and for sometime by the looks of things.
Develop/promote new and enhance existing water safety education projects and programmes, in order that everyone in New Zealand will have the water safe attitudes, skills and behaviour to use and enjoy the environment safely.
Donations to recognised charitable organisations within the local community to further the objectives of these groups.

Must point out that if you look on the website Petone and Wainui also got a bit of money from them but nothing even close to this. Even more interesting when you look at the applications that got turned down several other Wellington football and rugby clubs applied and missed out and Lower hutt AFC isnt on that list once.

Yakcall - I wouldn't get too concerned about it. I am not from your club, but these stories always start out to sound really earth-shattering and turn out to be misconstrued or without the background information to support the rumours.
From an outsider, I can see Lower Hutt club has always been an envy of other clubs, jealousy is the curse of a lot of evil, and they probably do have a lot going for them, grounds, facilities, the only club to have a men�s and women's team in the Central league, academies, teams in most JPL's if not all, a girls academy - so a lot of good and it takes clubs like that to ensure football stays alive in the junior ranks in a country where rugby is so popular.
As a smaller club we will continue to aim to grow to the power of the bigger clubs - hopefully with a little more funding - the money is out there, just need the dedicated people around to apply!

I'm hoping so! I've been quite proud of coaching at the club and the work they do with Juniors.
There are good people that work for Lower Hutt, but there are also people that spoil it for the rest.
What the women keeper did, doesn't look good for Lower Hutt. Lower Hutt getting all this money, where others have applied and failed.
Guess its a case of waiting for more information.
Saying that, I love the kids I coach and the parents I work with.

I am not sure if envy is the right word there to be fair.
But it's easier to be able to put out all those teams, and the fancy advertising posters all over the Hutt Valley when you're being funneled a few hundred thousand dollars, at the expense of other rival clubs who have directly been declined funding for the same activities.
I give credit to all the clubs who manage to put out the teams without the same level of funding.
Also, I am not sure the full Internal Affairs investigation report is available online?

Come on people, we all know the whole system is a bit dodge. Lower Hutt aren't the only ones with their hands in the cookie jar by a long stretch.
And that's nothing against anyone else either, it just is what it is.
