A Parent peer support Group (Roopu) meets, 6pm-7pm Thursdays at the RedwoodTown Community Centre, for parents to share and support one another to understand issues facing our tamariki(children) and rangatahi(youth), that can lead them down the path of suicide.
Learn from each others experience, from life and as parents, what we can do to stop this from happening and not lose anymore of our future generations to suicide. Let us lead by example, as parents, and be brave enough, to challenge what is happening, to make a better future for all our tamariki(children). Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments provided.

As most of my family and friends may know I am involved in ‘Look Good Feel Better’ as the local facilitator here in Blenheim.
We are holding a workshop training this coming Saturday 24th February from 10-2pm to introduce any new volunteers to this wonderful opportunity.
LGFB is a charitable organisation that helps women feel good on the outside while going through cancer treatment.
We run 4-5 workshops a year which are held on a Monday.
If you would like to be involved as a Volunteer we would love to hear from you.
A skill or background in makeup would definitely be an advantage but not a necessity. If you can follow ‘step by step’ instructions for skincare and makeup and would like to be involved in this organisation I would love to hear from you, or perhaps you know someone who may be well suited to this volunteer position.
The workshop training this coming Saturday 24th February is limited to 15 ladies who will have the opportunity to be involved 4-5 times a year to add to our list of existing volunteers.

Hopefully you will want to be involved or have people in mind or have talked to about becoming a volunteer.

We will have and be pleased to introduce you to Pip Callanan the Regional Community Liaison Manager, she is coming down from Auckland to participate in this training.

Timetable for the day
10.00 - 10.30 Morning tea and mingling to meet everyone
10.30 - 11.30 Pip will take us all through Health and Safety, Code of Conduct training
11.30 - 12.30 Lunch
12.30 - 2.00 Hands on training of skincare and makeup.

Ruth and Cherie will provide morning tea but if we could all please bring a plate of finger food to share for lunch that would be much appreciated.

If you can please confirm that you are able to come and the name and email addresses of any other ladies that would like to come. We would really love to have all 15 spots filled.
Please feel free to take a look at our web page at:
www.lgfb.co.nz...

I Look forward to hearing from you. Ruth x
Please feel free to contact Ruth on 0275782588 or 5782588.
