Huge congratulations to one of our talented residents! 📚✨
We are delighted to celebrate the publication of a beautiful new children's book, written by one of our very own residents.
Tracey the Māori Fairy tells the story of a little fairy whose forest home is destroyed by a fierce storm. Joined by fairy friends, the wise Mrs Tui, and a sprinkle of magic dust, Tracey discovers that kindness, courage, and teamwork can help overcome even the biggest challenges.
Creativity has no age limit, and this achievement is a wonderful reminder that imagination can keep finding new ways to be shared.
We invite you to watch the YouTube video attached and discover this delightful story for yourself. It might just become a favourite bedtime read for the young people in your life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBOLibMJW_A

Music, smiles, and plenty of joy.
Our regular music therapy sessions are a much-loved part of life at Knox. They are interactive, uplifting, and full of rhythm, memory, laughter, and creativity.
We invest in specialist organisations because we see the difference music makes. Sometimes the best measure of an activity is the laughter it leaves behind.

Thank you to the St Cuthbert's College string section for sharing such a beautiful performance with our residents. The talent of these young musicians was wonderful to see, and it was a real treat for residents to enjoy such high-quality music here at Knox. It is not always possible for residents to attend recitals or concerts outside the home, so having students bring the music to us means a great deal.
As a charity, kind acts like this make a real difference to the range of entertainment, activities, and special experiences we can offer. Thank you, St Cuthbert’s, for the joy you brought to Knox.

The Commonwealth Games are more than a sporting event. For many residents, they bring back memories of favourite athletes, family traditions, personal bests, and cheering New Zealand on.
This week, our residents are exploring the colours and symbols of the Commonwealth through arts and crafts. Every flag tells a story, and every story opens a chance for discovery.

Our local students are such an asset to Knox. As part of their school service projects, they give their time to visit, help, and create moments of connection with our residents. We are very grateful to these students and their schools for encouraging kindness, service, and community from a young age.
Here, one of our local students took the opportunity to play some old-fashioned tunes on the piano for a resident. Simple moments like this bring real joy.

Blue skies, fresh sea air, and great company... that is our kind of winter day! ☀️🌊
Our group outings are always a favourite, and when the ocean is sparkling, there is nowhere we would rather be. Fresh air, laughter, and a beautiful reminder that wellbeing can be found in simple days out. 💙

Wellbeing is more than keeping busy. 💙
At Knox, our Thrive team runs 25 activities every week, giving residents opportunities to connect, move, create, reflect, and keep learning.
One much-loved example is our poetry discussion group, where residents explore poetry with a facilitator who brings an arts background and a thoughtful, informed perspective.
It is a beautiful reminder that wellbeing includes the whole person: social, creative, physical, emotional, and intellectual.
As a charity, Knox is grateful for the community support that helps make meaningful activities like this possible for residents.

Volunteering at Knox is a simple way to support residents to stay active, social, and involved in everyday life.
Our volunteers regularly accompany residents on walks and coffee outings to the wonderful Café Beso. If you see someone wearing a yellow Knox volunteer lanyard, you are seeing someone who is freely giving their own time to support others and strengthen our community.
These outings are about much more than a coffee. They support fresh air, conversation, friendship, independence, and everyday wellbeing.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers for their generosity, and to Café Beso for always making everyone feel so welcome. Follow our page to see what volunteering at Knox is all about !

🌟 Move for Dementia is coming this September, and at Knox, every movement counts.

Meet Warren, who moves four times a week in the gym and makes it look easy.
When asked what he would be doing if he was not exercising, Warren had a very honest answer: “Eating more donuts.”

All jokes aside, our residents, like Warren, remind us every day how important movement is. Whether you are living with dementia mate wareware or not, moving supports strength, confidence, independence, mood, and general wellbeing.
Every day, thousands of New Zealanders are living with dementia mate wareware, along with the whānau, friends, and carers who support them. We also want to acknowledge the Freemasons Foundation, whose funding helped purchase this gym bike in 2021. It continues to be invaluable for our residents. As a charity, we are incredibly grateful to all our funders. Grants like this continue to make a difference for many years after they are given, showing the lasting value of community support. Thank you Freemasons Foundation your contribution is making a difference everyday.

Coffee anyone?

We love our trips out to Mission Bay and beyond. Rest home and hospital-level care does not mean life stops, or that outings stop happening.

Every week, our Thrive team supports residents to get out and about, enjoy the winter sunshine, and make the most of life in Auckland.

These outings are about much more than a coffee. They are about fresh air, choice, companionship, independence, and the simple pleasure of deciding where the day might lead.
