Clipboard is so proud to be supporting our community and these incredible catch ups! The support of Hamilton Gardens Cafe has made the cafe catch ups a warm welcome every month and everyone loves it!

It's community supporting community - and that it's what it's all about!

🌿✨ Community Spotlight! ✨🌿

We feel incredibly grateful to host the Waikato Connect-Ability group each month here at the Hamilton Gardens Café. Organised by the wonderful Kylee with the support of Clipboard LTD, this group celebrates all abilities and provides a safe, welcoming space for people to connect, share, and build friendships.

Hearing the laughter, conversations, and genuine connections being made in our café reminds us just how important community is. One of the beautiful messages they left us was:

"I really appreciate all the work that the Gardens Café staff has done for us to support the catch-up every month. To be able to connect with so many people and create new friends means a lot and has allowed me to feel less isolated. And I know others feel the same — it’s thanks to you and the staff for supporting us to have these events every month 🥰🥰."

Thank you, Kylee and the Waikato Connect-Ability whānau, for choosing us as your meeting spot. We’re proud to be part of something so special. 💚

Here’s to many more cups of coffee, conversations, and connections ahead! ☕🌸

💛 Our beautiful Tarryn passed away this morning 💛

If you knew Tarryn, you know the impact she made. Bold, loving, full of sass and heart. She lit up every space she entered and quickly landed herself in the hearts of so many.

She wasn’t just part of Kylee & Co. She is part of our heart. Our ambassador programme was created for her, and she helped shape every part of it.

We were lucky to spend time with her and her whānau this past week. And true to form, she gave us a directive: a product we should have on the website (and didn’t). So in her honour, we’ll be launching it soon. It has her sparkle all over it.

Tarryn, it won’t be the same without you. 💔 Our hearts are aching, but you’re at rest. You will always be embedded in our why, and we will continue to champion your name and legacy, which is the greatest honour, our incredible friend. 💛

Fly high, dear sweet girl.
May you finally enjoy eating hot fries. 🍟

We love you. xx

PS: For anyone that would like to honour Tarryn and her incredible life and support her family, in Lieu of flowers, please see her Give A Little set to support her family to grieve and honour her life. Link in comments.

We’ve started holding monthly crew nights — nothing fancy, just a chance to catch up, hang out, and be together outside of the day-to-day.

Everyone’s usually spread out across different places, so these nights give us a chance to connect in a way that feels easy and natural.

This month was dinner (canapé-style, made from scratch), desserts, and a completely unplanned round of karaoke that somehow became the highlight.

It’s not about putting on a show — it’s about making space. And that’s something we’re keen to keep doing.

Did you know you can hire a Permobil power wheelchair, and so much more?

Our Clinical Educator, Tracee-lee caught up with Permobil friend, Kylee Black from Clipboard at ATSA Perth this month. Kylie hired a Permobil M Corpus VS for her recent visit to Australia, and simply loved it. 💙
