So please message me if you’d like to… View moreAfter one year collecting baby clothes for charity, Littlemore, I’m now collecting any size kids clothes in any condition to fill a suitcase to send to Indonesia with a friend. She lives there and was telling me how the kids in her village have very little. So please message me if you’d like to drop off clothes that you’d usually take to the op shop. I’ll be collecting until my friend visits NZ early next year. Thanks!

Time spent in respite care can range from a single night to a few weeks. It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.

May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”

Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.
