SHERYL MASON
I was originally living in Tauranga, before moving to the Trust in December 2021.
I have lived in Thames previously and I have family here. Which is the main reason that I moved back. I love being a mother, I have 4 children (2 boys and 2 girls), they keep me busy. They come and visit, they are understanding of me as I am of them. I am now living at 900 and feel it was the best move I’ve made I like the feeling; I’ve made 900 my home. Adding little touches that are meaningful to me. I am thankful to the staff and am very happy.
MARGARET SINCLAIR
I like to spend lots of time with my cat Bubbles. I give her hugs and kisses, she sleeps with me every night. I got Bubbles last year from the SPCA.
Since she’s arrived she has felt relaxed and safe I love washing cars, doing other peoples gardens I enjoy walking around town, a bit of exercise I go to Tauranga to visit my brother and mum. We (staff and I) have lots of fun when we drive over/back from Tauranga. I love to go shopping, mainly groceries, shoe shopping with Amy. I enjoy my job with Spotless Cleaning and with Thames Collision and Repairs
Lastly I like to catch up with Sam Lee, Jodi and the Team Leaders.

ROBERT STEPHENS
I feel love here at the trust with the beach, the people and the staff. I am totally true and relaxed at my home at beach road, it is like when I was at home in Tapu. Many happy memories with love and bliss, nothing you can worry about too much. Trips to the beach god bless, love walking the boardwalk looking out to the sea, meals at the café and a beautiful time and memories at the disco, what true love forever grateful.
MELISSA STONE
I have been at the Trust for 3 years and this year I have moved into my own home. This has increased my independence in many ways especially doing housework. I have recently had some health challenges requiring major changes to my diet and lifestyle and the Trust has really supported me through these challenges. This year I have also been supported to overcome my fear of horses and now I am attending Equilibrium every Thursdays.
