ANZ digs deep for Sanctuary

Support continues to flood in for the Sanctuary, with ANZ’s Staff Foundation Fund granting $5000 to the project. Thanks to all at ANZ who have helped make this happen – it is hugely appreciated!

Construction ground-breaking coming

A symbolic end to of years of work for dozens of volunteers will be celebrated with the start of the predator-proof fence’s construction.
A groundbreaking ceremony is not far away, with a specific date to be confirmed soon. We’ll post the date here, but expect sometime late January or early February. 
If you care about this project, have been involved, or are keen to be present when the beginning of a new era at Shakespear officially begins, come along!
And for anyone worried that the hard work is over – no way! Get in touch with Allan on 09 424 5055 or info@sossi.org.nz if you can help with the hundreds of volunteer hours still needed.

Have you given your time to SOSSI?

If you have, let us know. We’re in the process of collating all the volunteer time given to this project. This information is needed for some of our grant applications to progress.
If you’ve worked behind the scenes for this project, get in touch with Allan on 09 424 5055 or info@sossi.org.nz and let us know.

Big drop needs big help

We are currently planning a major letterbox drop, initially targeting suburbs at the tip of the peninsular such as Army Bay, Gulf Harbour, Tindalls Beach, Matakatia Bay, Big, Little and normal Manly.  The letters will let the public know how the Sanctuary is progressing.
We need all the help we can get dropping these letters in boxes – every two letters you pop in boxes for us saves us $1. We would also love someone to coordinate this project! If you can help in any way, please let Melanie (09 4285986 or info@sossi.co.nz) know.
