Ok, no pretending now - it's really 2026! It always feels like back to reality once Waitangi Day is past, and the mid-February mornings start feeling that much cooler... We'd love to start the year by having more individuals and organisations add their events to our Infoodle calendar so that interested people can be aware of them. One of the aims of the Oxytocin Trust has always been connecting our community - there are a lot of fabulous supports and services out there - but sometimes its hard for busy people to keep on top of them all! Our Infoodle calendar shows all public Oxytocin Trust events and all of the birth or early parenting community events that we’ve been advised about. If you would like your event to be added, please submit the details (for free/no charge) via the QR code or email us directly [email protected]
As another year draws to a close, we take time to reflect on 2025 and to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supports our birthing community. To our volunteers and sponsors, we extend our deepest gratitude for the ways you stand behind and uplift our mahi. Your generosity and support make our work possible, and we could not do this without you. To the midwives, maternity staff, and all those working across the perinatal space in Te Awa Kairangai/the Hutt Valley, your dedication and care do not go unnoticed. Our community is greatly appreciative of the commitment you show every day. The difference you make for whānau is immeasurable, and we sincerely acknowledge and thank you for all that you do. We celebrate all that has been achieved in 2025 and we look forward to the possibilities the new year may bring. We wish everyone a safe and gentle New Year. Arohanui Jacqui, Meg, Megan, Murphy & Vida Oxytocin Trust Trustees
