✨ What a fabulous year 2025 has been! ✨

Kudos to our incredible Life Stylers 👏 who, every single day, remind us what truly matters: people, values, morals and principles.

They can turn the hardest day into something wonderful just by spending time together 💛.

No one really understands the essence and joy people bring into someone’s life until you’re right there in the middle of it 🤝💫.

A huge mihi 🙏 to our amazing staff who work tirelessly. We come in all shapes and sizes, all make-ups, all cultures 🌏 and sit in many different spaces.

💖 And then there’s the whānau… 💖 Behind every door 🚪 is a world of laughter and love 🤪 – the whānau who remain the very essence of their joy, love and prosperity. 🥰✨

To the community who have opened doors, created opportunities, built relationships and added that extra bit of magic and essence to their lives 🌈🤝 thank you for being part of our story, our village, But the world at The Supported Life Style Hauraki Trust wouldn’t keep turning if it wasn’t for EVERYONE doing what they do best – caring for people. The people, the people, the people. ❤️👥❤️

We’ve gathered a collection of memories – many great and wonderful 🌟 – and we’ve also faced some heartfelt losses within the Trust 🕊️.

Here’s to the whānau, the neighbours, the cuppa buddies and the cheerleaders the ones who show up, stick around and make life that much richer. ☕💬💞☕😂, we’ve stood together.

Here’s our tribute to 2025, and to every person who has been part of our journey. 💫💖
