Haere mai, Nicole! 👋🌿

The Life Matters whānau has been through a season of change lately, and one of the most exciting parts has been welcoming some incredible new faces. You may have already crossed paths with her, but today we are thrilled to officially introduce Nicole to our community!

If you are looking for someone to talk to, Nicole and our peer support kaimahi are here for you. Reach out on 027 240 0114 or email [email protected] to book a free peer support session.

An enormous THANK YOU to the incredible volunteers, donors, and businesses who gave up their time to support Life Matters at our annual street appeal last Friday! Together, you raised $6181 and we cannot thank you enough for supporting our mahi.

Every dollar makes a huge difference, allowing us to provide drop-in support, funded counselling, safeTALK workshops, and develop the skills of our peer support kaimahi.

A special shoutout to Otago Business Equipment for sponsoring the eftpos machines on the day!

See you next year! 🫂🎉 In the meantime, if you would like to keep supporting our cause, you can donate anytime at www.lifematters.org.nz/donate
