Windsor Park LifeCare Trust

A new year has begun! With the beginnings of a new year we often look forward with hope and anticipation about what the year might hold. If life is hard, sometimes instead we feel anxious and overwhelmed. At Windsor Park LifeCare Trust we are here to support you as you journey towards health and wellness. Perhaps this is the year for you to: - work towards change or improved relationships through counselling - tackle the debt that has become overwhelming - find support and community with other single mums - get your kids into a programme that helps them navigate the challenges of divorce/separation We can support and help you through any of these things and more. Check out details about our services on our website: https://lnkd.in/g6X6222X We have some staff available from the 6th of Jan and most people are back by the 13th. Please reach out, we would love to be able to support you.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year From the Windsor Park LifeCare Trust team For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Today we're celebrating the hard work of our CAP Debt Help families! Over the last 5 years these families, between them, they have paid (or had written off) a total of $1MILLION of debt and bills! During this time 20 families have completely cleared their unmanageable debt. They achieved this through hard work, sticking to budgets and following their repayment plans. It is amazing to see this weight be lifted from these families. Thank you to those who support Windsor Park LifeCare Trust, you have been part of bringing the gift of hope and freedom to these families. Thanks also to the wonderful team at Christians Against Poverty NZ who have journeyed with these families with us.

A little extra love and support this Christmas. We have been busy sorting, packing and distributing Christmas Blessing Boxes over the last couple of weeks. Many of the families we work with can use a little extra help this time of year and it is so wonderful to be able to bless them in this way. Hearing the feedback from our CAP Debt Help, Refresh and Haven families who have received these boxes has been so heart-warming. This was made possible thanks to our partnership with Windsor Park Baptist Church and the support they received from their congregation and generous donations from Rangitoto College students; as well as our partnership Christians Against Poverty NZ and their work with Christmas Box. Another reminder of how we are better together!

A Big Thank You to Carrolls Cartage. We want to extend a huge thank you to Carrolls Transport & Logistics for their exceptional support in arranging the pick-up and collection of a 20' container to our site at Windsor Park LifeCare Trust. This container was crucial for securely storing our fresh Christmas trees and served as the perfect setup for selling them as a fundraiser. A special shout-out to Chris Carroll, the Managing Director of Carrolls 3PL Logistics, who generously supported us in this effort. Chris’s willingness to assist us, understanding that we serve the North Shore community, exemplifies the spirit of local support! The funds raised from Christmas Tree selling will help us continue the vital work we do in the community. We are incredibly grateful not only to Carrolls 3PL Logistics but also to the many local businesses and sponsors who stepped up to support our Christmas Tree and Preloved Market fundraising efforts. It’s this kind of local collaboration that makes a real difference, and we are thankful for the kindness and generosity shown by everyone involved. Here's to more community-driven initiatives! #CommunitySupport #LocalBusiness #CharityEvent #ThankYou #Grateful #WindsorParkLifeCare #PrelovedMarket #NorthShore

Gratefully Acknowledging Our Friends at CSL Containers! We are incredibly grateful to CSL Containers, a subsidiary of SCF Containers, for generously donating the use of their top-quality 20ft Side Opening Shipping Container. This container’s unique side-opening design provided us with dual access through both the end and side doors, making it the perfect solution for storing and displaying our fabulous fresh Christmas trees. A special thank you to Edward Hambrook and Anthony McGinn, two of CSL’s fantastic employees who went above and beyond to arrange this for us. Their support made all the difference in ensuring we had the right setup for our fundraising. You can still grab a fresh Christmas tree from us here at Windsor Park (550 East Coast Road, Mairangi Bay) today (4pm-7pm) or this weekend (9am-7pm). All proceeds from tree sales go directly to Windsor Park LifeCare Trust, helping us continue the work we do for the wider North Shore community. Thanks again to the team at CSL Containers for your generosity and support! #ThankYou #CSLContainers #CommunitySupport #FreshChristmasTrees #LifeCareTrust #LocalBusiness #SupportingTheCommunity
