Pyjama packs bring comfort to children at Hutt Hospital
A huge thank you to the Oxygen Property Management Wellington Region team for running another pyjama collection drive for Hutt Hospital's children's ward. 💙 💙
The Oxygen team were able to collect over one hundred pyjama sets for the ward—which was double what they collected last year. The team credit the large number of the donations to the generosity of their landlords and tenants, The Warehouse Lower Hutt, and the greater Wellington community.
“Our whole team are blown away by the amount of PJ’s donated, and we want to thank everyone who supported the collection—your donations will put many smiles on our children’s faces this winter,❄️" said Hutt Hospital's Children’s Health Service clinical nurse manager, Sagni Prasad.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

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!
