Hundreds of Kiwi children will receive something special this Christmas thanks to Ryman Healthcare’s support of the Catalytic Foundation’s Christmas Shoebox Project.

Instead of giving individual gifts to residents, the idea was to redirect those funds to support struggling New Zealand families having to cut back on essentials.

Ryman residents were overwhelmingly in support of the idea, with many volunteering to help choose the gifts to fill over 1000 shoeboxes with thoughtful items.

Hi Did you know that there's a great St Johns Charity Shop in Brookfield, in the shops where the bakery and the chemist are? It's a beautifully set out shop with good value items.

Also, if you're having a clean out, please think about giving your unwanted items to this shop - they're always looking for stuff to sell!

Most of us will use St Johns services at some stage in our lives and this is a great way of supporting them.

Thanks.
