A Cheekee Raffle
We're showering September with some feel good vibes and we're doing it with A Cheekee Raffle.
Cheekee Hero is a whānau-run charity. We celebrate, support and raise awareness of tamariki (children), rangatahi (youth) and their whānau (families) with different abilities. Our tagline CONNECT - AMPLIFY - CREATE CHANGE is our mission. We will connect families with different abilities; amplify children's superpowers and create change by working collaboratively with charities and organisations, individuals and their families with any disability or illness to empower and champion each other.
Our kaupapa (initiative) is all about making change FUNNER by celebrating supporting and raising awareness of our beautifully diverse community that we serve.
As a whānau our lived experience of a child facing insurmountable odds is our reason for helping others.
And this September we were lucky enough to have been sponsored some amazing products from our kind friends at Vodafone NZ, so that we can continue our mahi (work) in the community.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
