This Christmas, Lifewise has been overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of our community partners, who have gone above and beyond to spread joy and hope to our whānau.

Baker Tilly Stables Rodway has been a steadfast supporter since 2015

Their team has consistently gifted beautiful toys and educational materials for our tamariki, supporting our Family Services team. Their thoughtful contributions continue to bring smiles and hope during the festive season.

Baker Tilly Staples Rodway has been one of Lifewise’s most valued partners. Their kindness and support have had a lasting impact on families in need and serve as an inspiration and a shining example of how businesses can give back to the community.

Rotary Club of Remuera, led by President Iain Valentine, has joined the Christmas cheer by delivering gifts for tamariki

We were thrilled to receive various gifts that our tamariki will surely enjoy, from books, colouring materials, plushies, board games that cater to kids of all ages.

Their heartfelt gesture will surely give a lot of yuletide cheer to our tamariki this holiday season.

Catalytic Foundation, spearheaded by Teresa Moore, has once again shown incredible generosity

Their Christmas Shoebox project brought joy to our Housing First tamariki and caregivers. This year, they went the extra mile, providing boxes of gifts for our Merge Community whānau to share during our Merge Christmas lunch, including essential toiletries and personal effects.

The total amount of gifts was so overwhelming, that we filled two cars with gifts.

We feel truly blessed to have these incredible organisations supporting our cause. Their contributions embody the true spirit of Christmas – sharing, supporting, and caring. Our heartfelt gratitude to Baker Tilly Staples Rodway, Rotary Club of Remuera, and Catalytic Foundation for their ongoing support and for making this festive season extra special for our whānau.

From all of us at Lifewise, ka pai for spreading the Christmas aroha. 💝
