We have umbrellas and marques available for events organised by local community groups over the summer period.

Our shade loan programme allows local community non-profit groups to hire marquees and umbrellas for local community events free of charge. 

If you are selling tickets to an event, you can still use our shade loan equipment but there will be a small cost. To make a booking, please download and fill out to form below and send it to suhaw@cancersoc.org.nz
