Uniting Against Covid-19 As we enter what we hope will be our final week at Level 3 of the Lockdown, we want to recognise and thank those who are continuing to work to maintain essential services and support our communities. Our team has worked to take HIPPY online. Web-HIPPY is now live and is continuing to support our HIPPY families. We are working to support whanau in our Papakura and Takanini communities while maintaining the guidelines for safety and social distancing. We are ready to launch MATES as soon as schools re-open. Our new team of Mentors completed their training before the lockdown and are keen to start (pictured left) Thank you to all of our staff in our Family Service Centres, our HIPPY programme and MATES who are staying safe in their own bubble whilst also working. We wish you all the best in your "bubble" and hope that you can spend this time connecting with loved ones and supporting from a distance. We are united against Covid-19. Kia hora te marino Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana Kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tou huarahi May the calm be widespread May the sea glisten like greenstone May the shimmer of light dance across your pathway
