It's been a busy month for Toes in the Water Whitianga! 🥳🤯 We have some acknowledgements to make this week, so firstly....

A HUGE thank you to 🥁🥁🥁 Foster Group Limited 🛠 for their ✨️ substantial ✨️ donation towards our charity.

We share a value with Fosters... to 'build' 🤭 thriving communities.

Fosters has a 50+ year legacy delivering quality commercial projects in the Waikato/BOP. And we think it's pretty awesome they have staff connections to the Whitianga area, who have noticed the hard work TITW Whiti are putting in for accessible communities. What a way to contribute, THANKS Fosters !!

‼️Charlotte Hayward donates $300 to Toes In The Water representatives Lydia Turner and Anne Pendray! Wow ‼️

💥Charlotte Hayward is an 11-year-old who started her "River Drift" enterprise making 300 floating keyrings, selling them from her own stall at the Whiti City Markets and offered to donate $1.00 per sale to Toes in the Water Whiti!
💫On Saturday 25th January at the market where the wheelchair and walker were displayed, Charlotte handed us her $300.00 donation. What an amazing thing for a young lady! Not only raising awareness for the charity, but hopefully inspiring other young entrepreneurs to undertake community projects.
🌻Both Hunting and Fishing Whitianga & Well-Stocked Deli Whitianga have her floating key rings in store.

Our recent trial of the Beach Walker has been a success and we are now fundraising to buy our own - your donation will support us to do this Charlotte !

You can help us too:
⛔️Stop in and see the multi-draw raffle at the Whitianga Social Services Trust Family Op Shop in Coghill Street, Whitianga.

🔴 Donate directly to ➡️ TTIW Bank Account: 02 0496 0145077 000.

If you or someone you know who would like to borrow the Beach Wheelchair or Walker, please contact TITW on 020 434 8489 to make a booking.

Toes In The Water (Beach Wheelchairs and Walkers for disabled and chronically ill) was approached before Christmas by a local young lady about fundraising for the TITW.

Happy New Year from Toes in the Water Whitianga ‼️
🌞 Our beach wheelchair and walker have been a hit over this busy season.
🏖 Weddings, beach days with the family, exercise, birthdays 🎂 🥳 - we are so pleased it is being enjoyed!

Here's some delightful feedback we're excited to share & makes it all SO worth it for us volunteers ▪️▪️▪️

"Just wanted to let you know that how much enjoyment I got by using the beach walker.
I enjoyed many walks on the beach , without the walker i am unable to. I hope you will carry on with your service to help people like me to enjoy simple pleasures of life". - Kamal

"We had so many people come up to mum and ask about it and comment on how cool it was, it gave mum so much freedom to have her toes in the water!". - Anita

Thank you 🥰
