📣 CALLING ALL COUNTIES MANUKAU SUPPORTERS! 📣
Otara Neighbourhood Support + Otara Health Charitable Trust are looking for winter warmers to support the many families that find themselves without adequate heating over winter. The households they work with have some of the coldest homes which leads to high rates of sickness. Blankets are one of the most useful and needed items during this time.
Please get in touch if you have any warm and clean preloved blankets to pay it forward to those in need in Otara and Counties wide.
Donations can be made to Michelle Simiona: 022 103 1887 or by messaging through their Facebook page at the link provided.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
