We’re delighted to be working with Hapai Transfer Systems Ltd. for the third time! They're a remarkable business from Ōtautahi, who are transforming people’s lives with their innovative mobility solutions. HT Systems is crowdfunding to take the next step in their journey - that has already given so many people the ability to care for their loved ones with limited mobility at home.

Since their last raise in 2023, they have doubled their annual revenues and successfully launched their second product, the Kera Lightning, the lightest most portable hoist available.

One week in to their crowdfunding campaign, they’ve already hit 60% of their minimum. Their community is a truly dedicated and devoted one - and it's incredible to see the continued support that they offer HT - because they believe in the mission.

Check out their Live with the PledgeMe team - and sing out with any questions about the campaign!

Our team was privileged to connect with kaumatua Peter Te Rangihīroa Ramsden through our mahi with Environment Canterbury, where we captured a little of his mana and his wisdom on film. His passion for the environment and conservation was profoundly evident - as was his sense of humour along the way.

Thank you for sharing a little of your story with us, Peter. We send our sympathies to the people of Koukourarata and to your whānau. RIP.

Thank you and rest in peace, Peter Ramsden. Please read our tribute to Peter here: https://roddonaldtrust.co.nz/a-tribute-to-peter-te-rangihiroa-ramsden/

As Tāmaki Makaurau is back in Level 3, we're once again working with the Student Volunteer Army to ensure everyone who can't pop to the shop is able to access groceries, through the SVA Grocery Delivery Service - www.shop.sva.org.nz.

Alongside this, SVA whānau have been helping the Te Mahurehure Marae to pack food parcels & deliver them throughout Auckland. We love this mahi 🧡

If you're in AKL & want to volunteer (even for just a morning!), download the SVA App from the App Store or Google Play, select ‘SVA General’ as your institution, and sign up to deliver groceries.
