BPW has lost a kind, strong advocate and mentor to many of our current members. We will miss you Faye ❤️

🕊️ In Loving Memory of Faye Gardiner

BPW International mourns the passing of Faye Gardiner, Past President of BPW New Zealand and Past Chair of the BPW International Health Standing Committee. Throughout her years of dedicated service, Faye was a respected leader, a passionate advocate for women’s health, and a tireless champion for the empowerment of women. Her legacy will continue to inspire BPW members around the world.

Our heartfelt condolences go to her family, friends, and our sisters in BPW New Zealand and BPW Tamaki.

🤍 We invite you to honor Faye’s memory by leaving a message in the Book of Condolences available on the BPW International website.

May she rest in peace.

BPW Hāwera Celebrates 40 Years! 🎉

BPW Hāwera marked a very special milestone this week as members, past members and guests gathered at Someday Café to celebrate our 40th birthday — four decades of advocacy, leadership and community impact.

We were honoured to be joined by several past presidents, including our very first president, Diana O’Brian, whose presence made the evening even more meaningful. The room was full of stories, reconnections and the shared pride of how far our club has come.

A highlight of the night was presenting the Taranaki Health Foundation with a cheque to support cancer patients travelling to New Plymouth for treatment. Helping ease travel costs for local families reflects the heart of BPW — women supporting community wellbeing.

To finish the evening with creativity and laughter, members enjoyed a hands‑on activity making flower pots with Grace Hornby and Jo Stevens — a fun way to celebrate growth, colour and the next chapter of BPW Hāwera.

Here’s to the past 40 years, and to many more years of empowering women in South Taranaki. 💛🖤

If you’d like to learn more about BPW Hāwera or get involved, we meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month at Someday Café.

A great night out for our April BPW Hāwera dinner meeting at Someday Café, where we celebrated Gwen Cater’s 15 years of dedicated service to our club.

After dinner we headed to the Hāwera RSA, where President Danny Garrett and Vice President Tara Hogan welcomed us and shared the rich history of the RSA building and its incredible collection of medals, photos, flags and historic fi****ms. Members also enjoyed their special themed cocktail, “The Trench Nurse” — a creamy mix of Sheep Dog, Kahlúa, coconut milk and golden syrup.

BPW Hāwera brings local women together to learn, lead and create positive change in our community. We meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month at Someday Café and always welcome new members.
