We were very happy to be the venue for this incredible 4-day course that can make such a difference in people's lives. Thank you and well done to the amazing team from Open Closed Doors. 💛

Psychologists are hoping the four-day intensive therapy, which costs thousands, will become part of the system.

A reminder that you can now get your First Aid Certificate through courses being run at Avebury - when we have 12 folk signed up we will look at dates. At just $40 per person, this is a great discounted opportunity to learn the basics of life-saving first aid. ❤️‍🩹

If you have any of the items on their list that you've set aside to donate, please get in touch via their Facebook messages or website donation page (https://www.clothedinlove.org.nz/) . Their admin team will be able to send you the details for the nearest drop off point - there will be one near you. Donations that come clean, sorted and labelled (eg Size 16 Boys) are so incredible helpful and appreciated. They are able to head out in packs as quickly as they arrive on site due to much of the organisation already being done.
