Presbyterian Support Northern

We’re excited to announce the launch of Presbyterian Support Northern's refreshed brand identity, bringing a more modern and unified look to our kaupapa and better reflecting our value of tangata whenua. Our new logo features a symbol based on raranga (Māori weaving) and represents whānaungatanga - people working together to support others. This symbol has also been put into a pattern (a kōwhaiwhai) to represent woven communities creating a common goal.

A big thank you to Auckland, Greenlane and Starship Hospitals for helping to raise awareness and funds for family violence prevention. Auckland and Greenlane Hospitals hosted bucket collections and Starship ran a popular bake sale, donating the proceeds to Shine. Thank you to the wonderful staff that organised and supported these events, including the Manawa Titi Family Harm team and our own Hayden Pyke from the Shine Education and Training team. Hayden can be seen in the photo attached, raising funds with some kind helpers. If you’d like to help those needing to escape family violence this Christmas, you can donate to Shine here (https://lnkd.in/g3HA5iCk). Every bit of support helps women and children at risk to become safer. Let’s work together to make New Zealand a safer place for everyone. #Fundraiser #StopFamilyViolence #ShineNZ #SupportShine
