Please join us as we share our future plans for SPCA in the Waikato region.

Sabine Kruekel from

Just over 15 months ago, we wrote to tell you that we had to make the very difficult decision to close Waikato SPCA to the public. Fortunately the centre was reopened a month later in January 2017.

SPCA services reopened gradually, with the initial focus being able to care for the most vulnerable animals in the Waikato community. Thanks to the support of our neighbouring SPCAs, we also ensured that the vital SPCA Inspectorate services were continued in the Waikato area.

On the 1st November 2017 the majority of the SPCA’s across the country merged into one organisation to ensure that SPCA provides the best animal welfare outcomes it can and, that we remain relevant and sustainable for the future.

We want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your ongoing support over these challenging months. As you probably know, the SPCA is almost entirely funded through donations and it means a lot to know we have such a supportive and caring community in Waikato.

We would like to share our plans for the future of Waikato region with the community and accordingly would like to invite all those interested to an information evening.

Venue: SPCA Hamilton

Address: 49 Northway St, Te Rapa, Hamilton

Date: Tuesday 1 May 2018

Time: 5.30pm

If animal welfare is as important to you, as it is to us, please come along and hear what the future holds. We welcome any questions you may have, so please send them through to laura.millar@spca.org.nz by the 27 April and we can ensure we have all the information to respond at the meeting.

Thank you again for your support,
SPCA Team

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
