Today we stand together to raise awareness of childhood dementia, a heartbreaking condition that impacts thousands of children and their whānau.

By learning, sharing, and supporting research and care, we can bring hope to families and shine a light on this often-overlooked condition.

Let’s honour these brave children and advocate for a future with better understanding, treatments, and support.

Today we’re showing our support for Wig Wednesday and the amazing work of the Child Cancer Foundation.

Every wig, every laugh, every show of support helps raise awareness for children and whānau living with cancer.

Join us in standing alongside these brave kids, wear a wig, share a smile, and help make a difference.

Kindness doesn’t have to be big or costly, it can be as simple as a smile, a kind word, holding the door, shouting someone a coffee, or checking in on a friend.

The smallest gestures can brighten someone’s whole day

Let’s spread a little extra kindness today (and every day!) you never know how much it might mean to someone

Today, we take a moment to hold in our thoughts all the dads whose children are no longer here. Fatherhood is love that never ends, and even in loss, that love remains strong, deep, and enduring.
To all the bereaved fathers, we see you, we honour your grief, and we acknowledge the bond you carry forever in your heart.
