Consumer request for help to spread awareness of our latest advocacy campaign.
We are calling for ‘fair repayment for retirement village residents‘. We want laws to be changed so that residents who leave a retirement village are repaid faster.
Our petition will be open until 22 May and we have an ambitious aim of 65,000 signatures.
I would be grateful if you could share this petition with your network to help us reach our goal

From Insight to Action: Forest Thinking for Ocean Futures
Hunter Lounge, Kelburn Campus
Wednesday 20 May | 4–7pm
Free registration: https://exploreyourcoast.co.nz/oceanfutures/
A free, interactive workshop exploring how we can restore land and ocean ecosystems in Aotearoa New Zealand.
🎬 Featuring two short documentaries, Think Like a Forest and Seaweed, A Love Story, this event connects the challenges facing our forests and oceans, and highlights real examples of how degraded environments can recover when we work with nature.
Through interactive activities, group discussions, and a live panel, participants will explore practical ways individuals and communities can contribute to healthier ecosystems – from local initiatives to everyday choices.
The event is open to everyone – students, creatives, researchers, and the wider community.
Be part of the change and see what’s possible when we work together.
