Help Grow our Healing Garden
Help us transform the central atrium of Auckland’s newest hospital into NZ’s first, large-scale indoor healing garden!
Every dollar donated will be used to create a stunning 400sqm indoor greenspace with hundreds of plants, enhancing the wellbeing of thousands of patients, visitors and healthcare workers every year.
The new hospital will open on the North Shore Hospital campus in April 2024, serving the wider Auckland region over the coming decades. Join us in this once-in-a-generation opportunity to create something special for the future care of our loved ones. Give A Bit of Green and donate today!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
