Wheelchair accessible swing for Whangarei

Glen from Central Whangarei

2024 Wheelchair Accessible Seesaw, Raumanga. We are thrilled to share that our fundraising was successful, and as of October 2024, the construction for a wheelchair friendly seesaw is underway in Raumanga, Whangarei. We will update you with photos once construction is complete.

Now that 2024 is rolling to a successful close, we are setting our sights on our next project. We are asking you, the community, to have your say on the next location for a wheelchair friendly swing. Our two preferred locations are the playground being planned in Onerahi OR Pohe Island playground. Please vote via our poll on our Facebook page, or contact us at childrenwithdisabilitynz@gmail.com

Option one -- Onerahi
Option two -- Pohe Island

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
