Hello to our followers, friends, and family.

We would like to thank everyone for their enduring support this year. Its been a tough year for everyone, with many being unable to withstand the financial crisis. We made it through, with the help of our customers, supporters and our staff. A huge thank you to our staff and their families for giving their all this year in very trying times.

We hope that the financial tide will turn in 2025, bringing relief to countless businesses and families, in Whanganui and beyond. We also hope that conflicts overseas come to a peaceful resolution, for the sake of all the children, no matter what side they are on.

We will be closed from the 18th December, reopening on the 13th January.

We hope you all have a beautiful Christmas with family and friends and that the New Year brings joy and prosperity.

For those wanting to order, you can do this by;
Visiting our website www.fivestar.org.nz
Emailing an order to mail@fivestar.org.nz
Phoning us on 06 - 343 7053

You can purchase the rig on its own $130
Or the rig and trolley for $180

Every order not only helps us as a business, but also assists in being able to employ people with varying disabilities. These usually prevent people from being employed, for many different reasons.
We are proud of our people and the way they have adjusted to producing this new product.

These past few years and this one especially have been very trying for most businesses and people, and we are no different. Without the support of the Wanganui Community we would be struggling even more. This new product could be a game changer for us and the people we employ.

A huge Thank You to everyone who has ordered

International Guide Dog Day!

Today is about recognising the valuable work guide dogs do, and acknowledging the dedicated people that train them.

is an opportunity to celebrate the vital role that guide dogs play, and to learn more!

Happy International Guide Dog Day!

Blind Low Vision Guide Dogs are part of an international community of incredible canines who provide assistance, safety, and companionship to their handlers. Today, we salute our four legged friends with a few guide dog facts to impress your friends with.
Did you know:

- Guide dogs are trained to disobey their handlers if they sense danger. For example, at a pedestrian crossing, if the light is red, the dog will ignore the instruction to “go” or “cross”.
- Although guide dog training schools have only been around since the early 20th Century, the use of guide dogs by people with blindness appears to date back as far as the 1st Century AD. A mural recovered from the ruins of an ancient Roman town near Pompeii.
- According to International Guide Dog Federation statistics, here are 19,557 guide dogs currently working worldwide.

Fantastic to see these canine colleagues in training! The New Zealand police do an amazing job training and caring for their dogs. They play a huge part in the work that the police do all around the country.
