Good in the Hood - Vote for Kidz First
Every day, between 80 to 100 children and young people between the ages of 0 and 18 years are seen in the Kidz First Emergency Department.This means there is an enormous need for us to provide care and support not only to the patients, but also the parents and whaanau accompanying them.
In collaboration with Z stations’ ‘Good in The Hood’ promotion, the team is fundraising to refurbish the whaanau room. Check out the video here: bit.ly...
You can play your part by voting at Z Hunters Corner, Papatoetoe. It’s easy: simply fill up your tank at this station and use the token supplied to vote for the Kidz First project. Spread the word whaanau!

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
