Support services for parents inundated with pleas for help
Hi neighbours, Support services for parents have been inundated with pleas for help from struggling families in need of essential items - like nappies, and sanitary products - during coronavirus lockdown.
Auckland-based charity The Mums' Clique is getting more than 100 requests per day for its essential items packs and Plunket has noted more babies are developing wounds from being left in nappies for long periods because their parents can’t afford to buy more.

Heartbeats Cardiac Support and Rehab Group at St Heliers Community Centre
Heartbeats, the largest non-profit, community-led cardiac support group in New Zealand is meeting at the St Heliers Community Centre this Thursday, 12th February at 10:00am.
Meetings are informal, friendly and open to ALL heart patients, heart event survivors, their partners, family and whanau.
Having heart disease or facing major heart surgery can be lonely and very frightening. Come along and meet heart people who have all gone through the same thing, or are currently dealing with arrythmias, diabetes, COPD, or very high or low blood pressure.
Heartbeats is not a social group (although we are very social). It is a full support group for education, mental health support and helping with recovery and rehabilitation.
Hope to see you are our St Heliers/Glendowie Heartbeats launch on Thursday.
For more information: call Trent on 022 0606 199
