Monday 25 September – Friday 6 October
The Glendale Road carpark is being resurfaced and so it will be CLOSED for two weeks.
Visitors to Visionwest, including those coming to our Pātaka Kai must park on Glendale Road and walk onto site using the pedestrian entrance next to 93B Glendale Road – for safety reasons, do not walk down the back entrance from Ambler Ave.
All opening hours remain the same, including Whānau Centre and Pātaka Kai.

A big shout-out to the young people from Waitākere College who contributed to the Boxes Full of the Goods” project and then gifted the boxes to our Whai Manaaki Kai food support service.
The Year 9 students collected of non-perishable food items and put them in boxes with handwritten messages of encouragement attached to them.
It was awesome to receive 142 food items and over 200 uplifting notes. Both the food and the notes were gratefully received by whānau receiving food support and a real encouragement to the Visionwest team.
Thanks Waitakere College and the Graeme Dingle Foundation Auckland who facilitated the project.
You guys are awesome, and your kindness really made a difference.

If you are a business, school, or community group, you can join in and help too by making a donation, or by buying or collecting awesome new gifts and toys for children.
Well make sure your gifts get to children who really need them through Visionwests Christmas From The Heart which is running for the fifth year this December.
To find out more visit www.visionwest.org.nz/secretsanta or email sarah.frayne@visionwest.org.nz

Mental Health Awareness Week – 18 – 24 September
Five Ways, Five Days is the theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week. At Visionwest, we’ve been focusing on ways to boost our mental health and wellbeing with a different activity each day.
We’ve already had two days of encouraging each other with conversation starters and encouragement cards, and a shared lunch at Koru Paihere (our Glengarry Rd site).
Check out the Mental Health Awareness Week website - https://mhaw.nz/ - for ways you can get involved – there are resources for individuals, parents, workplaces.
