THANKS Raising awareness and funds one danish at a time The Moore family is using their Tauranga bakery as a chance to give back to the Cerebral Palsy Society. Angela and Mike are the owners of Bakers of Bethlehem, and their daughter Chloe lives with Cerebral Palsy – Hōkai Nukurangi. She has been a member of the Society for 21 years. At the start of 2025, they added a Cerebral Palsy Society donation box to the counter at their bakery. “We look forward to passing on the donations from our generous customers,” Angela says. “[The donation box] can be a talking point and we like to take opportunities to raise awareness of Cerebral Palsy, the Society and the challenges those with Cerebral Palsy face.” Cerebral Palsy Society general manager, Clare Williams, is grateful to Angela and Mike for wanting to support the Society, and the Bakers of Bethlehem customers who kindly donate. “All funds raised play an important part in enabling us to continue providing the services and programmes we offer to members, locally and nationally. We really appreciate every single donation.” Grant gratitude A huge thank you to the following trusts and foundations whose support enables our programme provision to our members across Aotearoa.
