🐾 Towel Donations Needed 🐾

Our animals at the SPCA centre go through lots of towels every day for bedding, cleaning, and keeping warm.

If you have any old or spare towels you no longer need, we would be incredibly grateful for your donation. Every towel helps us keep the animals comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. 🐶🐱

Donations can be dropped off at the centre during opening hours.
Thank you for supporting the animals in our care! 💙

A huge thank you to Volunteering New Plymouth for the wonderful handmade bags you so kindly donated to us. 🧡
They were absolutely perfect for packing our fresh produce — not only practical, but pretty styley too! Your generosity and creativity brought an extra touch of care to what we do.
Ngā mihi nui, your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed. We appreciate you! 🙌✨

After 35 years of dedicated service, we congratulate Brian Erikson on his retirement as Manager of Taranaki Disability Information Centre Trust.

Brian, your unwavering commitment, leadership, and advocacy have made a lasting impact on the disability sector in Taranaki. For more than three decades, you have worked tirelessly to ensure people and whānau had access to information, support, and a strong voice in our community. Your contribution has truly made a difference, and your legacy will continue to be felt for years to come. Thank you for your passion, integrity, service and BBQ skills🌭 We wish you a well-deserved and fulfilling retirement!

At the same time, we warmly welcome Jake Mills as the new Manager. We look forward to the fresh energy, ideas, and leadership you will bring to the role. We’re excited for this next chapter and the continued growth and strength of the disability community in Taranaki.
