Building Bridges
Janet has extensive knowledge and practical experience in assisting individuals with disabilities and their family / whanau create authentic and enduring relationships within their community.
This one day event will explore
(i) the importance of community life, especially for people who are marginalised
(ii) influences and practices that tend to isolate people
(iii) what it takes to hold a vision for community life
(iv) how to build bridges and pathways within community life
(v) how to overcome obstacles
(vi) how to create a context for relationship, and
(vii) sustaining our efforts over time.
Janet says “this work would be helpful in discovering how to be more fully connected within our community, more fully present within our community and that learning to build and recognise bridges within community is a strong path forward. Much of what we have to work with is there already. We just need to see things in a slightly different way”

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
