Next CAP Budgeting Course starts 4th September !!!
The CAP course is about how to make the most of your money. It doesn't matter whether you have a lot or a little, the CAP money course will help you to use it better. It is totally free and totally confidential. It has worked in helping thousands of people in NZ and also in Australia, England and Canada. We've had about 30 people from the Bay area so far, and the feedback has been incredibly positive, so we think we are on to a winner here!
We will talk about making a budget and then how to keep to it. The next course is at St Hilda's (311 the Parade) at 7.30pm starting on Monday 4th September. There are then 2 more sessions on 11th and 18th.
To enrol just give us a call or email on 022 1392005 or email to ibhildas@gmail.com, or drop a note into the church office, or go to the CAP website (capnz.org), click on the "Find a course near you" button (top right), select the Island Bay course, and follow the instructions. You can text or call us if you have any questions. Places are limited to 12 participants (couples count as one participant).
⚠️ 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 ❤️
