Trust House Grant for Distraction Packs for Kapi Mana Police

Nat Claire from Altrusa International of Ohariū

We recently applied for a Trust House grant for funds to supply Kapi Mana Police with distraction packs to be given to children when they respond to emergency incidents or home visits . Each pack includes an activity book , pencils and a fidget items and are packaged in a sturdy book bag.
This was a fun project for us this year and part of a national Altrusa New Zealand campaign to supply distraction packs to emergency responders across New Zealand
