Our Citizens Advice Bureau fundraiser to Gibbs Farm enabled us, after transport and food expenses, to raise $2800.
We donated $1000 to the Angel Fund which helps people in our Helensville district in a variety of ways from paying school expenses to petrol money.
The rest will go towards our 23 amazing volunteers through a Kaipara cruise this month as a thank you for their sacrifice of time, energy and skills.
A huge thanks goes to our wonderful sponsors Love Flowers, McLeod Motors, Countdown and Helensville Fishery.
We also appreciate the generosity of Gibbs Farm for allowing us to fundraise and we had an amazing time hosting our two buses and cars of visitors.
We gave everyone a memorable lunch when a volunteer brought a car load fresh watermelon and cooked corn-on-the cob to add to our rolls and refreshments! We even shared the ample supply with the public who joined us under the marquee.
The farm, nestled along the Kaipara Harbour, features New Zealand largest open-air park of outdoor sculptures- and is topped off with exotic and interesting animals.
Not just a walk in the park, it’s a good workout around the 1000 acre property. Just imagine mowing that lawn!
Yet again, we acknowledge the amazing Gibbs Farm for such a national treasure!

5 Reasons to Work From Home

Anthea Chiappa from Lifestyle Happy Place

Working at home has its ups and downs, but for most of us the pros outweigh the cons of working at home. While our career paths, home office setups, and childcare arrangements may vary greatly, most moms find working from home a valuable lifestyle if they can make it work.

Working at home has its ups and downs, but for most of us the pros outweigh the cons of working at home. While our career paths, home office setups, and childcare arrangements may vary greatly, most moms find working from home a valuable lifestyle if they can make it work.

5 Reasons for Working at Home:

1# Spend more time with your kids
- More time spent at home means more opportunities to be there when the kids need you.

2# Increase or maintain your income
- Mothers who are entering the workforce can ease back into it and work on their own time frames and increase their income working from home. Or save on workplace costs if they are leaving their jobs.

3# Give up the commute
- Eliminate the wasted time spent traveling to work. Also save money on petrol, public transport and insurance.

4# Work flexible hours
- Take control of your schedule. Start early work late and have the day to do the things you love. Lifestyle of choice.

5# Gain fulfillment in all aspects of your life.
- Make time for you. Do the activities you never had time to do. Your family can have time too of course. Being self-employed in particular gains a feeling of controlling your own destiny. Create that work life balance by trial and error. Your life on your terms working from home.

Anyone can work from home these days with the future turning digital. If this is something you feel you would like to explore then dont be scared to take a look what's out there. You won't know if it's for you unless you keep an open mind and take a look at opportunities.
