*CanBead is a small NZ charity, with no budget for marketing, so you may not have heard of us. We run free jewellery making workshops for groups of people experiencing illness, trauma or loss, through host agencies such as Hospice, Cancer Society, Sweet Louise, MS Society, Brain Injury Association, Eating Disorders Services, Stroke and Alzheimers Groups, Refugee Services, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, Wellington Women’s House and more.
*We offer our participants a kitbag at the end of our session, containing tools, equipment and more beads, and we have consistently good feedback, as they are not only distracted in the workshop, but have the means to continue practising the skills they have been taught.
*All our beads are donated, some new, some as old jewellery, which we deconstruct. If you have any questions, please do get in touch.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
