🌸 Spring Tips 🌸

Getting out in the fresh air is a fabulous mood lifter for everyone but strong winds can present hazards for people living with dementia mate wareware. Impaired hearing, balance, mobility, and reaction times can increase the risk of falls and injuries during spells of extreme weather.

💨 Tips for staying safe on windy days 👍

✅ Keep an eye on local weather forecasts
✅ Ask for help to store or secure outdoor items and furniture
✅ Exercise at home rather talking a walk
✅ Use mobility aids like canes and walkers with caution
✅ Call on your local support network for urgent errands
✅ Postpone social events and phone a friend for a chat instead
✅ If you must go out, get a ride with a friend or companion driving service

Along with the holiday weekend here are some more good reasons to plan fun activities and socialise this month🥰

🧓 Thursday 1st - International Day of the Older Person
👧 Sunday 4th - NZ Grandparents Day
🧠 Saturday 10th - World Mental Health Day
🫂 Thursday 29th - International Day of Care & Support

🌼 **Over $2,000 raised for the Cancer Society!** 🌼

What a wonderful reason to come together for a special morning tea and celebrate the success of this year’s Wooden Daffodil Fundraiser. 💛

Our talented Workshop team handcrafted the beautiful wooden daffodils, which were sold throughout our community with the fantastic support of **Mitre 10, Cranford Hospice Shops and Carters**. Together, the campaign raised **over $2,000 for the Cancer Society** — an achievement we are incredibly proud of.

We were delighted to welcome **Pauline from the Cancer Society Hawke's Bay **, who joined us to accept the donation certificate, and **Kelly from Cranford Hospice Shops**, who attended so we could recognise and thank their team for getting behind the campaign.

Kelly shared something that really captured what this fundraiser has become. The bright yellow daffodils don’t just brighten up the stores — they start conversations. So many people have a personal story or connection to dementia, cancer, or both, and the campaign creates a little hub of connection and support for customers and staff alike. 💛

While our wonderful supporters at ** Mitre 10 MEGA Napier & Hastings and Carters Building Supplies** weren’t able to join us for the morning tea, their ongoing enthusiasm and support for this campaign is hugely appreciated.

A massive **thank you** to everyone who made, sold, supported or purchased a wooden daffodil. Every little wooden flower has helped make a very real contribution to the Cancer Society and brought a little extra sunshine into our community. 🌼

We’re already looking forward to seeing those yellow daffodils popping up again next year!

🌳🌸 FREE TO A GOOD HOME – Our Blossom Parade Tree! 🌸🌳

Our beautiful wooden tree has finished its starring role as a feature on our Blossom Parade float, and we’d love to see it given a new life rather than go to waste! 💚

It’s a large wooden tree structure that could be perfect for a kindy, daycare, school, playcentre or community group to get creative with. 🎨🌿

It could become a reading-tree feature, part of an outdoor play area, a seasonal display, or the starting point for another amazing creation!

✨ Free to a good home
🌳 Large wooden structure
🚚 Collection will need to be arranged
📍 Hastings Parkvale

If you know a kindy, daycare, school or organisation that might love it, please tag them below or share this post so we can find our tree its next home! 🌸💚
