Opportunity to back world-leading health research in Waikato
The Waikato is a centre for world-leading health research, thanks in part to the work of the Waikato Medical Research Foundation.
The population of the Waikato is young, growing and diverse, with its own distinct health challenges and inequities, particularly amongst rural, Maaori and Pasifika communities. The Foundation's purpose is to provide seed funding for robust and ethical research into medical and health care that can bridge inequity gaps and improve health outcomes across the board.
Their decision to set up the ‘Waikato Medical Research Foundation Fund’ at Momentum Waikato is all about making it easier for the public to contribute towards the success of the health research sector in the region.
“We are in a position to help make advances right here that have the potential to improve health for the people of the Waikato, and around the globe,” says Foundation Chair Gillian Spry.
“That’s pretty exciting and interesting. We invite people to donate and, through our newsletter, join us in learning about the amazing research work going on here in the Waikato.”
Predator Alert : Male after your young children
I've tried to post this 3 times from a post on Facebook but it won't post on here. Please, please look out for this vehicle and the male who is after young girls, possibly boys but only underage girls mentioned so far.

⚠️❗️❗️WARN YOUR CHILDREN .ESPECIALLY YOUNG GIRLS
Hey just putting this out there if anyone knows this car to keep an eye out.
This man is DANGEROUS
Fair skinned shaved head
Possibly 30s has been stalking my 14 or old around town for two weeks yelling out his car , following her and her friends in town.
Today she was walking home alone and he saw her turned around and pulled up and got out to approach her.
She yelled at him to go away and said she was only 12 .he said that's OK.
And got closer to her and she had to fend him off and run home.
He then drove past her near whatawhata Ave dairy .and she hid inthere till she saw him leave .
She ran home.
Let us know if you have any info as we've called the police twice .
⚠️ 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 ❤️
