Construction of new and improved Plunket rooms for Sandringham and Kingsland has begun.

The original rooms were destroyed nearly two years ago in a Guy Fawkes arson attack. Auckland City Council's Eden/Albert Community Board has contributed $220,000 towards the construction of the new rooms.

"We're extremely grateful to the council for its support," says Kate Saunders, president of the Sandringham/Kingsland Plunket committee.

"We do, however, still need to raise a further $100,000 for the interior fit-out and a new playground. So, if you're a business, family or individual who would like to help out in some way, it will be much appreciated."

To donate, please email the Sandringham/Kingsland Plunket committee.
