2238 - that’s how many uniforms we have provided over the past seven years to local children whose families couldn’t afford to dress them like everyone else when they started the school year.

We believe in the power of education to change lives and helping children not look or feel different when they go to school is one important way we can help.

Applications to be considered for our Back to School Programme re-open on October 15 through our website.

Do you live and Ashburton and want to join a conversation about how stories influence life? Would a workshop discussing this subject interest you? We don't have all the answers and we do like exploring questions and ideas to find ways that change life patterns.

Contact me if you have any questions.
I have been offering these workshops for the last eight years throughout South Canterbury and come with an experience of life and a Bachelor of Counselling.

Grief cafes and Oceans grief and loss programmes are a part of the work that we offer here in South and Mid Canterbury.

Each of these opportunities throughout Mid and South Canterbury offer an opportunity to gather with others who are also riding their wave of griefs. Being supported by others and knowing that you are not alone are ways to learn how to live with the big changes that happen in life.

It can be unnerving to come to a meeting for the first time. We encourage a friend to join you for the first time at the grief cafes. Ring me or contact me for questions, wonderings or even to meet one on one.

Check out our poster for your next and local Grief cafe.

It’s amazing how connected we remain to our memories of school no matter how many decades ago that was.

We are getting plenty of reminders of this from our supporters who have been letting us know what they saw and felt at school after reading the stories we have published in our latest Reach Out magazine.

This issue focuses on our Back to School Programme, which helps families who can’t afford uniforms, shoes and stationery send their children to school with those items, so they look and feel the same as their classmates.

Our supporters have told us of their own experiences. Over and over the stories underline how important it is for all children to get a good start at school.

You can find the magazine on our website here: https://www.citymission.org.nz/reach-out-spring-2026

For nearly ten years, OCEANS has supported tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau in North Otago. We've heard from local communities that South Otago needs this support too.

Local whānau deserve access to grief support close to home.

That's why we're working to bring OCEANS to South Otago.
