    Pink with Purpose at Real Living

    When it comes to supporting a good cause, our residents have hearts of gold! The Pakuranga Park Social Club recently hosted a Pink Ribbon Afternoon Tea, raising a sparkling total $2,000 for the Breast Cancer Foundation. The village was awash in a cheerful sea of pink—from the delicious treats to the residents’ vibrant outfits. But the best part? The joyful laughter and sense of community that filled the room as friends came together to support such an important cause.

    Stitching with Purpose

    It might start with a ball of yarn, but at Real Living knitting has become a project with a purpose. Our residents are using their needles and wool to make a real difference in the lives of others. Whether it’s creating cosy blankets for hospital patients, crafting clothes for children in need, or sending warmth overseas, these passionate knitters are stitching together more than just yarn—they’re weaving love, care, and community spirit into everything they make.

Grant’s incredible journey captivated the audience as he shared his life story—how a childhood accident reshaped his future, leading him to become an accomplished artist, a wheelchair rugby team captain, and a gold medalist. His resilience, talent, and determination left everyone truly inspired.
