Schools out + Christmas madness = Conscious Kids Programmes
Kia ora everyone!
Already panicking about what to do with the kids these holidays?
We can help with that! 🤗
When the average full-time working parent gets 9 weeks less of holidays than kids, managing childcare during school holidays can be challenging to say the least. That’s when our programme at Little Shoal Bay comes in handy.
We offer 100% Nature holiday programmes all around Tamaki Makurau, where kids get the opportunity and freedom to take ownership of their play outside all day long! To make things even better, this year we’ll be running programmes from December all the way through to February when school starts.
Located in the beautiful Little Shoal Bay Reserve we are surrounded by fantastic nature, the coastline, massive fields and bush area to play in, the creek and Le Roys Bush which is filled with nature walks. Perfectly located on the North Shore it is super close to the highway and on the way for your city commutes.
Tickets won’t last, GET YOURS TODAY!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
