Anyone else like knitting Peggy squares and wants to help out or donate wool…

Peggy Square Progress Update

A huge thank you to everyone who has been helping with our Peggy Square project for premmie babies. We're delighted to share that we now have enough squares to create two blankets to pass on to the Premmie Knitting Club.

If you have any spare wool you'd like to donate, or if you've knitted your own Peggy Squares, we'd love to receive them. Simply drop them off at our office, 79 Vivian St, and our team will arrange for them to be stitched into a blanket and delivered to the right place on your behalf.

We'd love to keep the momentum going! Our goal is to create even more blankets, and we need your help. Whether you can donate a ball of wool, knit a few Peggy Squares, or share this post with friends and family, every contribution makes a difference.

We have popped the the link to The Premmie Knitting Club pattern and story in the comments

Together, we can provide warmth and comfort to even more babies and their families.

What a year as an AIA Vitality Ambassador has taught Jason Gunn about health 💛

After a year with AIA Vitality, Jason Gunn is reflecting on the small habits that have made a big difference to his wellbeing, physically and mentally.

From prioritising quality rest 💤 to practising gratitude and learning to protect his energy, his journey is a reminder that lasting change comes from consistency, not perfection.

✨ Start small
✨ Stay consistent
✨ Be kind to yourself

Because living well isn’t a destination- it’s something we practice every day.
