Kia ora koutou,

This week’s Nutrition Bites takes looks at something many of us have in the fridge— yoghurt. With so many options available on the shelves, it can be hard to know what to look for.

This issue covers a few key things like calcium, protein, and sugar, along with some ways to enjoy yoghurt as part of everyday meals and snacks.

Enjoy

I’m reaching out to let you know about the West Coast Boot Bank initiative, which aims to support local tamariki by providing access to rugby league boots at no cost.

We understand that sports gear can be a barrier for some whānau, and we are trying to minimise the cost to help more young people participate in rugby league in their communities.

Through generous donations from local clubs, we have a supply of pre-loved league boots available for tamariki who need them. We are also currently spreading the word to receive further donations, so we can continue to grow the Boot Bank and support more families.

We would greatly appreciate your support in helping us share this initiative. Could you please include the attached advertisement about the Boot Bank in your school newsletter? This will help reach whānau who may benefit from the program, as well as those who may wish to donate.

Thank you for supporting local tamariki and help. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like more information.

Kind regards, 

Carrie Coghlan
