We rise by lifting others
We’re getting ready for our Countdown Collection Appeal.
We need volunteers to join us and collect essential funds for carer education and support programmes. A diagnosis of dementia is not just a diagnosis of an individual it’s of an entire family.
Dementia Auckland provides FREE services supporting the community and those who are in a support role caring for someone with dementia.
A carer is a hero that bravely walks beside someone with dementia, these funds support those taking care of others.
Time: 10am – 6pm
Shifts: 2 Hours

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.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
