Seniors Day Out - SDO
🎨 SENIORS DAY OUT – A STEP BACK IN TIME 🏡
In May, we visited the McCahon House Museum in Titirangi — and what a fascinating experience it was! It’s truly incredible to see how the McCahon family lived and created in such a humble, compact space, nestled in native bush and full of creative energy. 🌿✨
We explored a powerful collection of photographs, voice recordings, video footage, and personal writings that brought this iconic Kiwi artist’s story to life.
And in the photo — yes, those are the boys’ bunk beds, which astonishingly had only three walls, opening out onto the bush. That’s right — the fourth wall was nature itself. 🌲
We began the day with a lovely lunch at Deco Eatery, where good food and great company made it a day to remember. 🍽️💬
Every outing brings fresh perspectives, meaningful connection, and shared memories.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
