Foster Hope Pyjama Drive
Foster Hope are running their annual new pyjama drive leading up to winter. There are over 6,000 children in foster care in New Zealand many who arrive at their new placements with little or no belongings. The drive is asking for new summer or winter pyjamas (aged 0-18 years). Many of these children have never had a brand new pair of their very own and knowing that someone has shopped especially for them is a huge boost to their self-esteem.
Bayleys Kapiti at 19a Raumati Road, Raumati Beach are participating as a drop point until 26th June. If you can afford to purchase a new pair of pyjamas, these will be gratefully be received by one of these children. Anything we can do to help them feel loved and valued is a huge part of what we do.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
