All funds raised will be given to the Lions Clubs New Zealand Child Mobility Foundation (CMF), which supports children who suffer from Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida or similar disabilities. These conditions limit mobility, such as being unable to balance the body, unable to sit or walk, or having difficulties moving arms and hands.
Children feel the need to be active, to take part in everyday life. We can give them the chance to play with their brothers and sisters and friends, to take part in sports activities and to experience hands-free walking with the aid of a Hart Walker – a deceptively simple walking aid that transforms the child from dependent to independent, in a flash; from a life spent mainly indoors to something more closely resembling a “normal” childhood.
The Hart Walker provides hands-free mobility and allows children the opportunity to experience walking, often for the first time in their lives. Health benefits can include improved circulation, respiration, digestive system, muscle control and improved balance and co-ordination. The Hart Walker costs NZ$9,850 and attracts no government funding in New Zealand and therefore relies on the generosity of us all.
Help us to help these children – join us for a walk on Sunday (entry is $10 per person) or give a little so that CMF can fund this life-changing equipment. givealittle.co.nz...

We know that when kids are involved in preparing for emergencies and learning about natural hazards, they encourage their families to be more prepared and play a more active role in responding to and recovering from emergencies.
As part of Get Ready Week 2016, we are launching our redeveloped schools resource What’s the Plan, encouraging schools to update their emergency preparedness plans and use the new resource to build resilience as a life skill for their students.
Here are our top tips for Prepared Kids
1. Give the school or day care a list of three people who can pick the kids up if you can’t get there.
2. Talk to your kids in an honest (but not scary) way about what might happen in an emergency, what you can do to keep safe, and what your plan is for if you can’t get home. The more involved they are, the less scared they will be if an emergency does happen.
3. Make a plan with your kids. Sit down together and talk about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn’t have them. Grab a piece of paper and write down what you agree, who you need to contact and things you need to do to get ready.
4. Get your kids involved in getting supplies and checking them regularly. In an emergency you could be stuck at home for three
days or more. You probably have most of these things already, and you don’t have to have them all in one place, but you might have to find them in a hurry and/or in the dark.
