Sponsorship

At a recent Regional Meeting of SeniorNet Learning Centre representative in Levin, Grant Sidaway, the National Executive Officer explained how important sponsors are to SeniorNet in terms of the financial contributions they make to the funding of the operations of SeniorNet.

Westpac Bank is our major sponsor and has provided a workshop on Internet Banking which we will show at a Question and Answer session later in the year.

Noel Leeming Ltd provides the SeniorNet Federation with a small percentage of each sale to SeniorNet members.

Vodafone has agreed to donate 3% of every SeniorNet member’s (Vodafone) phone account if they have the phone numbers on record. We are looking into ways to support this initiative without compromising our member’s personal information. More on this later.

Please support these sponsors when you can, as their contribution to SeniorNet is significant.
