Support our 20th anniversary fundraiser to help more migrants and former refugees
Migrant Action Trust's 20th Anniversary: Help us fund 20 more FREE programmes for Migrants and Former Refugees
givealittle.co.nz...
The Migrant Action Trust empowers migrants and former refugees through employment-readiness workshops, community driving programs, and various community-building projects. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary of growing confident communities in Tamaki Makarau, we cordially invite you to celebrate with us.
To mark this milestone, we are calling on you to partner with us in supporting 20 more free English classes and one-on-one job search coaching sessions for newly settled migrants. We also aim to empower 20 more former refugees, particularly solo mothers, through culturally appropriate and trauma-sensitive driving lessons that will grant them the gift of independence.
Your support will help the Migrant Action Trust enhance its capacity to support new settlers by increasing their employability, boosting their confidence, mobility to services, reducing isolation, and improving the overall well-being of the whole whanau.
We thank you for investing in growing confident and successful communities by making a donation today. Please follow the link below to donate.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?
Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

⚠️ 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 ❤️
