On Saturday the 22nd of June 2024, a group of seven children from Immerse, accompanied by their buddies came to spend the day at NSRDA. Immerse is a foster care agency founded by experienced Kiwi caregivers with their mission being to help see a transformed and transformational culture of foster care in Aotearoa and beyond.  This article tells a wonderful story from volunteer Barbara Leslie.

Eight years ago Alice was the proud owner and rider of Missie.  They competed most weekends and hacked out on the farm during the week, then for no apparent reason she suffered a catastrophic medical event resulting in 2 strokes and a completely changed life.

Long time volunteer, Sue Cammell reflects on her time with NSRDA and how settled NSRDA is at present, with an active committee, solid team of staff, and great volunteers.   Sue leaves us at the end of July to move south to Queenstown to be nearer to her adult children and their families where she and husband Alistair will continue to provide helpful support.  We will miss your energy Sue, as well your knowledge and wise consideration.

It was a huge shock and it's with a very heavy heart that we, the RDA family, acknowledge Michael Long's passing.
