The new system saves everyone time and keeps costs right down for both the festival and the attendees.

“Endev is all about developing software people can rely on. It was great to be able to support my whanau by providing a new website and the online system for the Festival. We were able to build a system that was easy to use and totally dependable.” - Patrick Moore

NZCT is committed to ensuring money goes back into the communities from which it was raised. NZCT is the only trust with Regional Advisory Committees. These groups of local people help with advice about recipients of funding in their area. So far we have established five of these committees around the country and hope to create more.

The Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand (ALAC) was established in 1976 by Act of Parliament, following a report by the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Sale of Liquor.
