Pyjama packs bring comfort to children at Hutt Hospital

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

A huge thank you to the Oxygen Property Management Wellington Region team for running another pyjama collection drive for Hutt Hospital's children's ward. 💙 💙

The Oxygen team were able to collect over one hundred pyjama sets for the ward—which was double what they collected last year. The team credit the large number of the donations to the generosity of their landlords and tenants, The Warehouse Lower Hutt, and the greater Wellington community.

“Our whole team are blown away by the amount of PJ’s donated, and we want to thank everyone who supported the collection—your donations will put many smiles on our children’s faces this winter,❄️" said Hutt Hospital's Children’s Health Service clinical nurse manager, Sagni Prasad.

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)
.
