End of an era
It is with sadness within the community that Te Puna Oraka Early Years Services - the Shirley
Hub closed on 26th June. The funding for the Shirley Hub ended a year ago, and despite best
efforts there is not the funding to continue.
Jo Waddingham
(Manager) says, ‘While
the Hub will no longer
operate as a drop-in
service, the Early Start
Project continues to hold
the lease for the building
through to November
2020. They are still
offering the space to
community groups
free of charge during
this time to continue
their community-based
activities for whanau in
the Shirley community,
so some of the familiar
activities at the hub
will continue e.g.
International Playgroup,
Breastfeeding support
and Music Bugs. After Te
Puna Oraka closes I am
happy to still have the
opportunity to represent
Early Start within the
Shirley Village Project.
Pictured from left to right Angeleen Keepa Jo Waddingham & Jan Egan
This is an initiative
which has the potential to create some awesome positive change, directed and lead by the people of Shirley, so
will still get to connect with some of you through some of the great little projects happening in that space I know.
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to get to know so many of you in the Shirley Community. Everything has it’s
season, and this is where we are now for Te Puna Oraka Early Years Services Hub after 10 years of connecting with
this community is very many ways with a vision of supporting the best possible start in life for families raising their
tamariki in Shirley. Shirley is a community that benefits from the energy and commitment of those that live here,
and while services may come and go this community spirit will remain and flourish. Wishing the families of Shirley
all the very best in your parenting journeys.’
Editorial
This July edition is touching on seasons of change with the Shirley Hub no longer hosting the Early Years
services.
Here at the Neighbourhood Trust we also have some sad news, our wonderful editor of 4 years Amber is finishing
up in her role as editor. We are excited to be able to say she will still be part of our neighbourhood Trust Team in
other ways in our community.
We’d like take this opportunity to thank Amber for her passion for our community, building long lasting connections
through her work on The Mairehau and for her strong drive to bring us inspirational and wonderful stories of
happenings in our neighbourhood.
God Bless, Trudy

Managing stress Volunteer Chef Required.
Everyday life is filled with struggles. For some people, One Wednesday every
stress is so common that it becomes part of their everyday 6 weeks to cook and serve a
routine. A little bit of stress on your body won’t do you any midday meal for
harm – in fact it can motivate you to do your best. On the 80 Senior Citizens

So, what is stress?
Stress is a physical reaction to events that make you feel threatened or upset
your balance. This stress response from your body is its way of looking after
you. Up to a certain point a stress response can be very helpful, especially in
emergency situations where stress can save your life.
But your body will reach a certain point where stress stops being good and
starts causing damage to your health, the way you work, your moods and

So, how do you fix stress?
You can fix stress by removing the cause. If you can’t remove the cause then
you need to learn to manage it. Stress management involves changing the
stressful situation when you can, changing your reaction when you can’t,
taking care of yourself, and making time for rest and relaxation. Getting
enough sleep is also an important factor.
If you can, talk to your friends or parents. But remember that your community
