Robbie’s message

As Christmas approaches, I’ve been deeply moved by the incredible work happening across PSO.

From generous donations and tireless volunteer efforts to the skill and compassion of our staff – and the wisdom and guidance of our Board – it’s clear that our mission to support Otago communities is alive and thriving.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support brings hope, dignity, and care to those who need it most.

“Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini.”
My strength is not that of an individual, but that of the collective.

Wishing you a joyful, restful Christmas and a bright New Year.

Ngā mihi, Robbie Moginie, CEO
