Our Southern REAP Social Club had a fantastic outing on Friday night at Solve It and Escape in Invercargill. There were clues to crack, puzzles to solve and most definitely more than a few moments of questioning each other’s logic. 🕵️‍♀️

Turns out we’re a pretty competitive bunch when there are bragging rights on the line! A very fun way to spend some time together outside of work, and thankfully, we all made it out (and were still friends afterwards!).

A big thank you to our Drive My Life mentors! 🚗

Our Central & Western Southland mentors recently came together for a well-deserved morning tea. A chance to thank them for volunteering their time, share ideas and hear some heartwarming success stories.

Their support helps people gain confidence, become safer drivers and work towards a licence that can open doors to employment, education and independence.

🙋 We’re looking for volunteer driving mentors across Southland, Fiordland & Whakatipu! A little of your time could help change someone’s life. If you would like to find our more pop in and see us, freephone 0800 111 117 or email us at [email protected]

Happy International Left-Handers Day to our CEO Dawn Brocks! 👈

Running Southern REAP with her left hand while the rest of us are just trying to keep up.

She’s in pretty good company too... Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Prince William, Rafael Nadal… and, perhaps most importantly, Ned Flanders.

Here’s to another year of smudged pens, awkward scissors and people saying “Oh! You’re left-handed!” like they’ve just discovered a rare species.

Happy Lefties Day!
