Creative youth program
EXCITED!🤩🤩🤩
For the month of June, I will be in creative-juices-mode-overdrive and I AM PUMPED!
UXBRIDGE Arts & Culture Centre in Howick is going to be hosting this EPIC, dynamic 4-week mixed-media self-discovery and expression program for 14-18-year-olds, and I'll be one of the co-pilots! Alongside me will be incredible local artist Joel Nichols, beautiful singer-songwriter Zoe Scott, and super-talented photographer Maddy South!
We are going to be helping youth explore what lights them up through hands-on creative avenues, providing them with a super supportive, warm, engaging, and deeply connected space where they can PLAY and FEEL and DISCOVER!!!
Such a privilege to be part of this! Can't wait to meet some beautiful young people and dive into some FUN!
Tuesday evenings! Reach out for more info x
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
