Christmas Connection - Send a message to a loved one who has passed
Hi everyone
Christmas Connection has STARTED, this is a heartfelt initiative designed by Sarah Robb from @springwithsarah of Christchurch to bring comfort and connection to those who may find this time of year challenging due to the death of a loved one. We are now bringing this to Wellington also.
We invite you to be a part of this meaningful journey by sharing a personal message to your loved ones who have passed away. Your words will be etched onto wooden Christmas decorations, creating a beautiful and poignant memorial throughout December. On the days leading into Christmas, these heartfelt messages are ceremoniously burned in Wellington, allowing them to be sent to your loved ones who have passed away.

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