HUGE thank you to TECT for their support again this financial year. Without the support of generous funders like TECT, we wouldn't be able to continue to do the important mahi we do day in and day it.

It takes a village in many forms, and we are grateful for everyone who makes up ours.

Have a blessed day everyone!

Congratulations to the recipients of TECT's August funding round.

🐾 Please help our girl Hope 💗
Our beautiful Hope has been diagnosed with periodontal disease and needs to undergo surgery to help get her healthy and comfortable again. 🐱💔

As you can imagine, the cost of her treatment is a lot for us, so we’re reaching out to our friends, and animal lovers for a little help. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and help us get Hope the care she needs. 🙏💕

If you would like to donate, please use HOPE as the reference so we know it is for her.

Go Hope! 💪🐱💕

Celebrating Matariki together 🌱✨

Our staff and whānau came together to celebrate Matariki by planting vegetables, sharing kai, and enjoying each other's company. As we look to the stars and reflect on the past year, we're also planting seeds of hope, growth, and connection for the future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to make this a special day. May the season of Matariki continue to inspire kindness, renewal, and togetherness in our homes and community. 💙

International Day of Play

11th June marks the International Day of Play, first launched by the United Nations in 2024. This day recognises the vital importance of play in children’s lives.
“Play is a sign that children feel safe and nurtured and loved. They feel that they can be children, even in the midst of great difficulty.”
- UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell
As a powerful healing process, Homes of Hope offers play therapy to any child in the community needing support. Donations towards this offering
can be made via our website www.homesofhope.org.nz reference CCPT

Meet our next shortlisted charity: Homes of Hope NZ 🏡

Homes of Hope provides stable, whānau-style homes where siblings stay together, backed by therapeutic support to help tamariki process trauma and build resilience. Their goal is to support children to either be reunited with their whānau or transition into a forever home alongside their siblings.

A core part of their approach is wrap-around therapeutic support, combining consistent caregiving with evidence-based interventions including Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT).

At the heart of their mahi is the belief that every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and supported, and that with the right care, therapy, and community connection, children and their whānau can thrive and break cycles of trauma.

This year's focus is Personal Safety and Security for women, girls, and whānau. Want to vote? Donate by the end of February! 💛 https://www.acornfoundation.org.nz/give/womens-fund
