Funding Friday
Last month we asked for help – as one of our programmes was about to run of funding. Kids ReSync is a wrap around support for families going through tough situations, and provides child counselling, parent coaching, music, play and occupational therapy, over a full term. We needed $12,000 to continue into Term 3, and we had an overwhelming response – in fact nearly $24,000 was donated – enough to cover Term 4 too!! We really appreciated every donation, from the local kids bake sale in North New Brighton, to the family who committed to sponsoring one family each term for the next year! New families are already benefiting your generosity. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

5 Ways To Wellbeing Lockdown Update
Kia Ora WhÄnau.
We hope you’re all making the most of this unexpected lockdown – everyone always said we needed more public holidays in Term 3!
Remember to look after yourself in lockdown by practicing the 5 Ways to Wellbeing:
- Give. Check-in your neighbour and ask if they need any help, offer to do some gardening, take around some baking, or pass on an old game youâre no longer playing with.
- Keep Learning. Thereâs a lot you can learn on YouTube; how to play the guitar, how to draw, how to sew, new recipes, new skate tricks, new ball skills, etc.
- Be Active. Go for a walk, run, bike, scooter, skate, jump. Do a YouTube exercise class.
- Take Notice. Write a list of 30 things in your life that youâre grateful for. Email a teacher, youthworker, coach or family member and tell them what youâve appreciated about them.
- Connect. Get virtual face to face contact on Zoom, Messenger or Facetime with a mate. Tell each other about favourite memories, make plans for after lockdown and share your ambitions.
If you are in need of some extra local support through YAT, email: care@yat.org.nz
If youâd like some counselling support call or text 1737.
