New Playground being planned for Raumanga Whangarei
I will be asking for a wheelchair swing, a wheelchair-accessible carousel, oblong-shaped inground trampolines accessible for wheelchair users, sensory play equipment.
And we will do our research to find the products, and put project managers in contact with suppliers.
This is called being proactive. Children With Disability NZ, on FB and the net under CWD Northland.
Let's first make Northland the most disabled child-friendly place in New Zealand and let us roll the concept New Zealand-wide.
Our charity Children with Disability NZ members meet with some local business people at the new park site in Waipu on Saturday.
Our charity is part-funding a wheelchair swing for that site, all agreed with WDC we expect to reach our funding target of $10,000 in the coming days.
I have also successfully lobbied for facilities at Pohe Island. Onwards and upwards

⚠️ 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 ❤️

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
