SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Hana

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"My family could no longer look after me, so now I am looking for a new family. I am sweet when it suits, I look adorable and my caregivers tell me I am, but if I have had enough fuss, or I see another cat, I have another side. I am looking for someone who can speak cat, who can read cat, and loves me for who I am. I hate other cats, and would probably make a dog's life unpleasant. I am looking for a home with older children, or just adults, who will love me for who I am. If you are still reading this, then please click apply now so my caregivers can find out more about you, and can make you an appointment to come and meet me."

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.

Amazing catering provided by Blue Carrot
