BestStart Epsom came together in a flutter of colour and compassion for our Butterfly Appeal in support of Whānau Āwhina Plunket. With creativity, community spirit, and a shared goal, we turned art and aroha into action!
At BestStart Epsom, we are incredibly proud to share the success of our recent Butterfly Appeal – a beautiful initiative in support of Whānau Āwhina Plunket, helping to ensure that all tamariki in Aotearoa receive the care and support they need to grow and thrive.
Thanks to the amazing generosity of our wonderful families, kaiako, and wider community, we are thrilled to announce that we raised over $300 for Plunket for the first time! This achievement is a true reflection of the kindness and unity within our centre, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
As part of the Butterfly Appeal, our tamariki and kaiako created stunning canvas artworks and planted vibrant little plants. Each piece was available for whānau to purchase as part of our fundraising efforts. Crafted with love and care, these taonga brought joy to our families while supporting a great cause.
It was heartwarming to see so many families come together, choosing their favourite creations and contributing to the kaupapa with open hearts. The Butterfly Appeal was more than just a fundraiser—it was a celebration of love, care, and the spirit of giving back.
The funds raised will go directly toward Plunket’s invaluable services that support the health and development of tamariki across the country. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make this campaign a success. Together, we made a difference.
