*CanBead is a small NZ charity, with no budget for marketing, so you may not have heard of us. We run free jewellery making workshops for groups of people experiencing illness, trauma or loss, through host agencies such as Hospice, Cancer Society, Sweet Louise, MS Society, Brain Injury Association, Eating Disorders Services, Stroke and Alzheimers Groups, Refugee Services, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, Wellington Women’s House and more.
*We offer our participants a kitbag at the end of our session, containing tools, equipment and more beads, and we have consistently good feedback, as they are not only distracted in the workshop, but have the means to continue practising the skills they have been taught.
*All our beads are donated, some new, some as old jewellery, which we deconstruct. If you have any questions, please do get in touch.

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!
