CPR & First Aid for Whānau

Join us Thursday 11th June for a free two-hour workshop aimed at parents, grandparents, and caregivers wanting to feel more confident in an emergency. The session centres on caring for pēpi and tamariki, covering hands-on guidance with CPR, how to use an AED, and what to do if a child is choking, having a seizure, or dealing with everyday injuries or illness.

We’ll also go over key warning signs for conditions such as RSV, meningitis, and anaphylaxis, plus who to contact and where to get support when it matters most.
It’s all about helping our whānau feel ready, supported, and equipped for whatever comes their way.

To sign up, email [email protected] or call 0800 AWARUA (292782)

Keeping Our Elderly Warm This Winter

We’re proud to continue our partnership with Perpetual Guardian David Boyce, providing free insulation and heating for seniors aged 65+ in Southland.
This support builds on more than 20 years of work through the Guy Waddel Trust, helping elderly Southlanders stay warm, healthy, and safe.
One Bluff family recently received a heat pump. “It’s brought real comfort, warmth and peace of mind,” said Catherine, daughter of Tei Aerepo.
