1 in 5 of us will face mental health challenges this year and when it affects our Base Whānau it’s time rally, move for a bigger cause and spread the message to speak up and seek help.

Some of us at Base have been quietly chipping away at a rep challenge and the best part has been the kōrero when we get together after work. There is power in talking as well as moving.

Please help us reach or exceed our target of only $350 and donate to the link. Small dollars add up🥰🙏🏽

I can’t describe how much it means to hold our kids when they give it their all, win or lose. It’s been a magic week at the 2025 Aon Maadi Regatta in Cambridge🥇🥈Grateful for all the aroha and support from friends, whānau and our magnificent teams at Base and Freshchoice Geraldine. It truly trickles down to Toia and Manaia in the boat💛💙
I’m back to Base tomorrow and really looking forward to it ### Bi
