Honestly, this is our favourite project to work on. Get on board in whatever way you can, to see joy in motion ✨️❤️

NZ's first social toy store, the Christmas Joy Store is back for 2023! After last year's efforts, providing joy to 10,370 tamariki with over 33,000 toys and 68,000 treats, we're excited to open not one, but two stores this year in Auckland and Hawke's Bay.

We have some very joyful surprises up our sleeves, so if you want to get involved to help bring Christmas to children in need, head to www.kindness.org.nz/joystore for more info. ✨

❄️ She's a chilly one tonight! ❄️

So while you're snuggled up at home - take a moment to think of the kids around Aotearoa that might be going without.

Click below to donate the cost of a pair of PJs for the Kindness Collective Foundation to get these warm items to those in need.

✨Help provide over 5,000 pairs of warm winter pyjamas to kids all over Aotearoa! ✨

The last two years have had a devastating effect on many communities and families are struggling more than ever to make ends meet. One in five kiwi kids are going without the basics each day, including food, shelter and warmth. The worry for families is immense and we're heading into a tougher winter than most.

We know a good night's rest is so beneficial for tamariki, but first they need to be warm so that's why we're on a mission to provide as many pairs of pjs for as many children as we can.

It's really simple. Provide a pair of PJs and give families one less thing to worry about this winter. Get involved here: www.kindness.co.nz/pjproject

We spent ours helping the Kindness Collective Foundation create this amazing community garden. While events are on hold for a few months this was a great way for us to give back, be involved in the community and earn a wine on Saturday evening!

Thanks as always to the Kindness Collective Foundation for pulling together some amazing people to do some wonderful work.
