Save the Shellfish

The Long Bay-Okura Marine Reserve in Auckland is covered with dying shellfish - and we need your help to put an end to this.

The shellfish beds are decimated and soon the shore birds will be affected as their food sources decline. Marine Reserves are a place for wildlife to live and be protected, not a place to die. This Marine Reserve is a jewel in the crown of the Hauraki Gulf.

Canoe & Kayak has donated $2500.00 to kick off a fundraising campaign to Save the Shellfish.

Your donation will go directly towards helping to raise awareness with the public, developers, Auckland Council, and central Government, and contracting specialists for advice, monitoring, testing and technical support, so the Long Bay Okura Great Park Society can continue to help protect this stunning area.

Join with us and donate to make a difference - thank you for your support.

St John's message this winter

The Team from St John New Zealand

St John on Neighbourly is a way to connect with our communities across New Zealand and keep the public up to date with news, information, and tips across our frontline Ambulance Services, first aid training, event medical services, AEDs (defibrillators), first aid kits and supplies, medical alarms,… View moreSt John on Neighbourly is a way to connect with our communities across New Zealand and keep the public up to date with news, information, and tips across our frontline Ambulance Services, first aid training, event medical services, AEDs (defibrillators), first aid kits and supplies, medical alarms, St John Youth programme, and a wide range of community and volunteer programmes.

This winter, St John urges the public to prioritise health & wellbeing. The most important thing you can do is be immunised against influenza and seek advice from a health professional if you are unwell. Each winter the surge of 111 ambulance calls continues to increase, which despite St John’s best efforts to triage and treat people in-home, places a lot of pressure on the ambulance service and the hospital emergency departments.

St John has issued five key messages to the public to help them look after themselves and each other this winter – read them here: goo.gl...

These pyjamas go direct to the children in our community who have been identified

as needing them now.



We have seen many times before just how generous the people of Pukekohe are.

As we all know, the nights are getting colder and there are 213 children who have been identified by their teachers as being in need of a pair of nice warm pyjamas to keep them warmer on these cold nights.

We are very grateful for the generous donations we have received to date.

Here are numbers and sizes of pyjamas that we are currently short of.

Pyjamas can be left at Franklin County News, Pukekohe Travel or Pukekohe Anglican church or text Jan on 0274521 366 and we will arrange for them to be collected. Maybe you could collect some for us at your office or place of work or amongst your friends.

Thank you for supporting our local community as we try to keep our children warm and out of hospital.

This project is the Middlemore Foundation run in conjunction with our Franklin Health Locality, Pukekohe Community Action and Pukekohe Anglican Church plus our wonderful community.
