We need your help please!

Kirstie Wilton from Dementia Wellington

Dementia Wellington is holding our first appeal of the year. The Wellington Appeal will be held on Saturday 30 March in supermarkets across Wellington, the northern suburbs, and Porirua. We have sixteen sites to fill and we need lots of people to help us raise money for local families affected by dementia, so please sign up now to volunteer as a collector.

To book your spot, simply click the link below and enter the code: n85yq (please copy and paste as the code is case sensitive)

www.schoolinterviews.co.nz...

If you have any trouble at all, just give us a call 04 972 2595 and we can help you sign up.

And for those of you outside Wellington, don’t worry if you can’t volunteer this time as we will be holding appeals in Kapiti and the Hutt region later in the year.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

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 ❤️

When overseas especially in USA, they ask, since our Christmas is in summer, if we have Santa and Christmas day on 25 December.
Yeah nah, DAH.
