๐ โโ๏ธ Itโs Not OK - November 1st to 30th ๐ โโ๏ธ
Creating safer communities means ensuring that no one lives in fear of harm on the streets or in their own home. For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.
To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a womenโs refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This monthโs campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.
Let us know how youโre spreading the โItโs Not OKโ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

๐ฉธ Giving Blood, Plasma and Platelets Saves Lives! ๐ฉธ
Just one blood, plasma or platelet donation can make a life-saving difference to the lives of many. Whether youโre a first-time donor or a regular, every donation counts! โค๏ธ
New Zealand is currently short on donors, and to keep up with demand, is having to import blood products from overseas. So, if you can spare an hour (or slightly more) a few times a year, youโd be giving a priceless gift to those in need right here at home.
Let's support each other and those in need - you never know when a loved one may need it.
And remember our Emergency Cards and Tags have space to record your blood type, helping first responders act fast when it matters most!
Have you donated before? Interested to know more?
