Inclusive play

Glen from Central Whangarei

Excellent such a good successful week.

I have been quietly lobbying for about a month, between the council and Northland rugby over the accessibility of one of their wheelchair ramps.

Many thanks to Julie from Northland Rugby and Claire Wilson from WDC for their support.

I have just received confirmation that the law of common sense has prevailed, the ramp which is currently not wheelchair accessible will be wheelchair accessible by mid-April.

My lobbying with the council is just having success after success, I also have news on the Riverside Drive crossing good news but am not able to share it yet.

This week has been hugely successful. and to top it off our charity Children with Disability NZ has reached our first fundraising goal of $10,000 to put towards a Wheelchair swing at Waipu Activity Zone

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
