Poll: Movin' March

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Walking, cycling and scooting to school have many benefits for tamariki – exercise, independence, physical and mental health, decision making, risk assessment and road safety skills.

Do your kids walk, bike or scoot to school? What do you love about it?

Sorry to say, but we drove down moonshine road by the motorway and we saw a black and white cat on the footpath that looks like it may have been hit by a car.

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
