In adjusting to life under Level 2 and now Level 1 COVID 19 Alerts staff at the venues that host Pub Charity Limited gaming machines took the hygiene of their premises and the safety of their customers very seriously, and we have all benefitted from their efforts.

Looking overseas it is obvious how fragile our COVID free status is in New Zealand however we can celebrate that PCL and its partners are all back up and running. After a partial grant round, approved in March just before lockdown and distributed in May, Pub Charity Limited has in July completed its first full grant round since February 2020, distributing over $3.8M to 300 community recipients.

I would like to thank everybody for their patience and our venue partners for their hard work.

Good luck and best wishes to you all.

Martin Cheer – Chief Executive
