A huge thank you to the organisers, participants, sponsors, and supporters of the Geraldine Matariki Motor Muster for their incredibly generous donation from their recent event held in Geraldine.

This wonderful contribution will make a real difference in our community. The funds will be used to:
✅ Replace AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in the Geraldine area that have reached the end of their operational life.
✅ Purchase Minikins to help train community groups in 3 Steps for Life.

What is 3 Steps for Life?
3 Steps for Life is a simple programme that teaches people how to recognise a cardiac arrest, call 111, start CPR, and use an AED while waiting for emergency services to arrive. The goal is to give community members the confidence and skills to help save a life before professional help arrives.

In a medical emergency such as a stroke or a heart attack, a possible life-saving trip in our ambulance will normally cost you $125 per call-out.

With an Ambulance Membership these charges are covered for a year. This means you can concentrate on getting better and not worry about unexpected bills.

To join an Ambulance Membership online, you’ll need a valid email address. If you don’t have one, please call 0800 ST JOHN (0800 785 646), Monday to Friday 8am – 5pm and Saturday 7.30am – 12.30pm, and we’ll help you complete your membership.

🚑 International Paramedics Day – 8 July 🚑
Today, we recognise and thank the dedicated paramedics who serve our communities with professionalism, compassion, and courage.
Whether responding to emergencies, providing critical care, or offering reassurance during difficult moments, paramedics make a life-changing difference every day. Their commitment to helping others often sees them working in challenging and unpredictable circumstances, yet they continue to answer the call with skill and dedication.
On International Paramedics Day, we extend our sincere gratitude to all paramedics for the vital role they play in keeping our communities safe and healthy.
💚 Thank you for your service, your expertise, and your unwavering commitment to caring for others. We appreciate everything you do.

💙 Supporting kindness in our community 💙
North Aoraki Area Committee is proud to once again support the Kindness Collective’s PJ Project this year in helping keep tamariki warm across our district this winter.
The PJ Project is a nationwide initiative that provides brand-new, warm pyjamas to children experiencing hardship. With many Kiwi families facing tough times, something as simple as a warm pair of PJs can make a real difference to a child’s health, wellbeing, and ability to sleep comfortably through winter.
Last year alone, tens of thousands of pairs of pyjamas were delivered to children in need across the country, showing just how powerful community kindness can be.
