Can you lend a couple of hours? Volunteers we need you!
The buckets are clean, the vests are unfolded and our venues are booked for the 2019 Dementia Waikato Annual Appeal and we would love it if you could lend us a couple of volunteer hours to fundraise! We would also love it if you shared our message with your communities and helped us spread the word.
Donations received are used in the Waikato and help us remain the only charitable organisation in the region to provide free education, advice and support to people living with dementia. Our mission is to help people live as well as possible, whatever their symptoms are. Our vision is living well with dementia.
To volunteer, email our super crew at volunteers@dementiawaikato.org.nz or call 282 1373.
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!

37.9% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.1% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
