Reaching Out
Reaching Out has been operating for over 4 years going into 5 years this year. Reaching out started out by a family of four who also didn't have much themselves but in their own journey wanted to help those going through similar situation.
in the last four years we have helped families who were about to be homeless because of the state of their home, we then were called to come in and help clean up the property and provide the family with food and clothing parcels, which we called serve a family.
we have been running feeding the community, which we cook meals, provide cold & hot drinks, collect clothes, shoes any reusable items and give them out on the days we do our feeding the community running once a month.
Blanket run is another we run during winter, we will send out notifications to the community for blankets and warm clothing and we then give it out to on our blanket run in Auckland CBD.
Street clean up, we net work with other amazing community group and we aim to bring our community back to look after our community by cleaning our streets.

we need running costs for our vehicle when we pick up good for families need furniture, we need petrol. it may have started of been funded by my husbands income but the need has become even bigger that we need to start applying for funding.
we have seen a lot of good changes since starting Reaching Out and we want to keep going.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
