This Christmas, while many are enjoying some time away, we're looking for special people who are staying home and can open their homes to a foster animal or two. Spread some holiday cheer and get some cuddles in return!

Before the end of December, SPCA is expecting to take over 3000 vulnerable cats and kittens into care. Many of these will need time in a foster home to heal, learn and grow.

Please, if you are staying home during the holidays sign up to become a foster parent. Your support is invaluable!

We cover all expenses and provide training. All you need to give is your love and time. Make a Difference this Season!

Wastage... and cost.

Brent from Opaheke

We're in a season of giving, but unfortunately that often means we are buying things that will end up in the bin or broken within a few years...

We're in a season of giving, but unfortunately that often means we are buying things that will end up in the bin or broken within a few years...

With so many items made from solid timber in our homes, often with that timber being hundreds of years old, is this the season to give something old a new lease of life? Restore, repair or up-cycle something and take a step out of the consumer vortex!

Let me know if I can help - solid timber repairer/restorer here :)

Peggy Bourne was the first to see a stunning new painting of her late husband at a poignant unveiling held recently at the Ryman Healthcare retirement village named after him.

Peggy, accompanied by two of her three children, Spencer and Jazlin, and her niece Samantha, were wowed by artist Craig Primrose’s canvas which will go on display in the reception of the Pukekohe village.

An estimated 200 residents and visitors packed out the village lounge for the special occasion, which comes 20 years after Possum was killed in a non-competitive car collision.

The family, along with Craig Primrose, were welcomed by Village Manager Wendy Stanton and Ryman Healthcare’s NZ Chief Executive, Cheyne Chalmers, who explained that Possum Bourne very quickly became the obvious choice as a village name after Ryman bought the site in 2014.

It became very clear that the name of the village just had to be Possum Bourne,” Cheyne said.

“It was the overwhelmingly favourite name when we asked Pukekohe for suggestions. And we loved the name too.”
