ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

Hi Everyone.


This is the first time we have had a collection at the Barrington Mall, so hope the lovely people of the surrounding area's will beable to support our charity in the following ways:-


1. We will have collection buckets so if people wish to donate money then they can.  If everyone donated a gold coin, it would be a good collection with monies to cover our very high vet bills.
2.  We will have cat food bins, so if you are shopping at Fresh Choice, you might want to pop in an extra item of kitten food, or kitty litter into your shop,  as opposed to donating monies, and come and put in the food bin.
3.  Come and talk to us about our fundraising ventures we are involved in ie making crafts for our stall, offering to help with our vegan baking for sale in our stall at the Vegan Expo on October 28th of this year, or you could ask us about 'Webfair'.
4. Just come and talk to our volunteers about what we do.  We are cat/ animal lovers and hence love talking about cats in general.


We will be situated (with a table) between the old Paperplus and the lovely ice cream place.


Hope to see you and if you could mention it to all your family and friends.
