Here are just some of the amazing stories from around Otago over the last few months


Residents in outside chairs at Iona

Iona gets new chair covers

Thanks to fundraising efforts of the Iona Activities team, our residents now have bright and colourful new outdoor chair swabs!

The old ones had become faded and torn, but residents are very pleased with the new, thicker cushions, which are much more comfortable.


Stepping Stones at camp

Stepping Stones Camp

The Stepping Stones whānau recently returned from their annual camp in Central Otago. For some it was a trip to familiar places for others in the group it was their first time visiting.

Camps provides great opportunity to build wellbeing and resilience by strengthening relationships, challenging limits and having fun!


YouthGrow

YouthGrow and Flagstaff Community Partnership

We are thrilled that the partnership between our YouthGrow programme and the Flagstaff Community Church has been continued after our first successful 18 months.

The Flagstaff Community Church have opened up their hearts, space and doors for the YouthGrow team and rangatahi attending the programme.


New World Gardens van with staff

Support from the team at New World

The team at New World Gardens and New World Centre City in Dunedin are working with our foodbank for their Family2Family campaign, making sure donations from their stores stay right here in our community.

Thank you so much to staff and shoppers for their amazing support!


Resident with pony

Holmdene has special visitors

Residents at Holmdene were treated to a visit from a miniature pony recently - what a wonderful animal to visit our home! The pony was brought in by Marlene, one of the amazing volunteers at Hone Hato St Johns, who visits Holmdene regularly.
