As we step into spring, there’s a gentle shift in the air. Longer days are on their way, bringing fresh opportunities to reconnect, reflect, and reset.
This winter, more people than ever reached out for crisis support. Thanks to your generosity, our Winter Appeal raised $7,000, bringing warmth and care to those doing it tough.
While we didn’t quite reach our target, your kindness has made a real difference for people in need. If you’d like to continue supporting our work, please use the enclosed donation form.
Every gift brings comfort and hope where it’s needed most. As you read through this issue, you’ll also notice our refreshed brand. Our legacy and values remain at the heart of who we are, but this new look reflects the vibrancy of today and the communities we proudly walk alongside.
Daylight Saving begins at the end of September, bringing longer evenings and, for many, a welcome lift to our routines. But we know this change can also affect energy levels and mental wellbeing.
Let’s keep looking out for one another, and take time to notice how the people around us are really doing. Thank you for being part of our journey. Your support makes this work possible and ensures that no one walks alone.
Ngā mihi o te kōanga — Spring blessings to you all.
