Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou.
We will remember them.

A huge thank you to Rachelle and the amazing team at the Royal New Zealand Police College for making this Easter so special! 🐣✨

We were incredibly grateful to receive a generous donation of Easter eggs for the tamariki and whānau in our care. Having our neighbors at the College reach out with such kindness brought so many smiles to the faces of the children and their families during the holiday.

It’s community spirit like this that makes such a lasting impact. We truly appreciate the thoughtfulness and the delivery! 💙🙌
