Donation for Greenstone Doors expansions
Greenstone Doors is a Charitable Trust which functions as a pregnancy focused centre where women are able to experience a positive response to pregnancy and receive accurate and professional information and care. We provide education, counselling, resources and support for women and their families during and after pregnancy through an independent network of counselling and support professionals. We provide the following services for women and their families:• Free pregnancy testing.• Counselling for all peoples with life-issues, specialising in grief and loss that is pregnancy related (miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, post-natal depression) and other significant life changes.• Practical Support – a number of support groups are operating to build strong families and promoting positive parenting. Donated baby clothing is given to anyone in need, free of charge and in the last twelve months we have assisted 156 families with this service. • Connecting – we have a strong links to community networks and receive referrals and refer clients to other agencies for additional resources and support. Our premises provide a welcoming and hospitable environment where mothers (and their families) who often cannot afford to access professional services, can drop in unannounced and be made to feel valued. We have outgrown our premises and are currently planning to expand and would like financial help with the fit-out of our new counselling rooms and hospitality area.

We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
