Kia ora Koutou,
As the new East Coast Coordinator, I am slowly working my way through calling you all. It has been great hearing your stories and getting to know a little more about you. Please know that we are here to help, ready to support you through the difficulties and celebrate your achievements. Feel free to pick up that phone or send through an email.
Yay, our region of Caring Families Aotearoa (East Coast) now has an office…. I will be moving into a new office space in early March. The Office address is Room 4, 176 Cobden Street, Gisborne (as part of the office spaces of Gisborne Presbyterian Parish). It’s really nice and handy to Pak’n’Save. Drop in and say “hi” during my workdays of Wednesday – Friday. I will also be traveling down to Hawkes Bay very regularly and am hoping to find somewhere to ‘hot desk’ when I’m there.
