Christmas Connection has started!

Alina from Khandallah

Created by founder Sarah Robb of @springwithsarah Christmas Connection is a heartfelt initiative designed to bring comfort and connection to those who may find this time of year challenging due to the death of a loved one.

This year we have teamed up with our friends at @endoflifeplanning.me so that Sarah's beautiful initiative can be delivered in Wellington as well as Christchurch and Auckland.

We invite you to be a part of this meaningful journey by sharing a personal message to your loved ones who have passed away.

Your words will be etched onto wooden Christmas decorations, creating a beautiful and poignant memorial throughout December.

On Christmas Day, these heartfelt messages are ceremoniously burned in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, allowing them to be sent to your loved ones who have passed away.

Here is a reel to show you what it is all about, starting in Christchurch, Auckland and now in Wellington. www.instagram.com...

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
If you're in Wellington: Visit the below link to write your heartfelt message www.endoflifeplanning.me...

If you're in Christchurch you can pop into a library or use this link to pass on your message springwithsarah.com...

If you're in Auckland you can pop into the Grief Centre Birkenhead office, or email your message to them on christmas@griefcentre.org.nz

Despite Wellington Airport and Airways promoting socially responsible messages online, both have sent insensitive responses to vulnerable individuals in our community and are resistant to change. We are here for the residents of Johnsonville, Ōhāriu Valley, Broadmeadows, Khandallah, Ngaio and Crofton Downs. Read more:

Wellington International Airport and Airways New Zealand have been receiving genuine messages of suffering, from community members with existing health and wellbeing concerns, since the flight path changed 18 months ago. The Airport’s latest noise report shows that, according to WHO research, one-fifth of our neighbours could be suffering levels associated with adverse health effects.

This is one of many issues, including legal, public health and safety concerns (involving Civil Aviation Authority of NZ, and Wellington City Council as a shareholder).
