💜 The Women Walking Beside You 💜

Meet Cheryl Little, our new Office Administrator.

Working closely with our Operations Manager, Cheryl helps keep ScreenSouth running smoothly through a wide range of centralised tasks. What she loves most about her role is the variety, the opportunity to connect with everyone across the organisation, and knowing she's contributing to work that has a meaningful impact on people's lives.

Outside of work, Cheryl loves exploring the outdoors through hiking, travelling to new places, baking, tending to her garden, and spending quality time with family and friends.

The values that guide her are simple but powerful: treating others the way she wants to be treated and always striving to be her best.

"Don't be average. The world is full of average people. Try to be the best at whatever you're doing."

And if you think that's impressive, here are a few things you might not know about Cheryl: she can tie her shoelaces with one hand, rode a Triumph motorcycle for 11 years, and successfully challenged ministerial policy twice while advocating for people with disabilities.

We're proud to have Cheryl walking beside our communities every day. 💜

Community mahi by day, creative competitions by... well, also day 😝🫶🏽

At ScreenSouth we're lucky to do amazing work in our communities, but we also love getting involved in fun staff initiatives.

For Breast Cancer Awareness Month last October, we held a DIY bra competition and the winners were finally announced yesterday! 👏🏽

Congratulations to Coral for taking out Best Use of Recycled Materials ♻️💖 and to Nadine (creator of the epic dragon 🐉 bra) for winning the People's Choice Award 🏆

Safe to say we had a lot of fun getting creative together, with just the right amount of friendly competition thrown in 🤭🥳 hehe

The Women Walking Beside You campaign is back!

Meet our new Telephonist and Administration team member Jane Cutbush, whose caring voice is often one of the first connections women have with ScreenSouth.

Having seen the impact cancer has had on family and friends, she finds real meaning in supporting women to access screening. Knowing she may have played even a small part in helping someone take that step makes her proud to contribute to the kaupapa.

Outside of work, you'll find her walking with loud music in her headphones, singing along without a care, or spending weekends racing across town to cheer on her children from the sidelines of basketball courts.

Her guiding principle is simple: treat others how you would like to be treated. It's a value she brings to every interaction, alongside kindness, humility, and a commitment to always do her best.

A few things you might not know about her? She's an ex-Detective, spent a year living in Israel, and her daughter captained the Tonga National Basketball Team at the FIBA U16 Asia Cup in Malaysia.

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." ✨

Celebrating Te Vaiaho o te Gagana Tokelau - Tokelau Language Week 2026!

Fakamālo atu kia te koutou uma! The theme for this year's Tokelau language week is "Ke mauaka taku gagana Tokelau i taku aganuku" - My language is enriched and strengthened by my culture.

Language - Culture, they go hand-in-hand. We admire our Pasifika cultures for how they model the ebbs and flow of balancing the layers of their identities.

How are you celebrating this year's beautiful Tokelau language week in Aotearoa and the shores beyond? 🌊

A huge Fa’afetai lava for having us at your Pinktober event today 🥹🥰🌺💕

We’re still ecstatic over such a meaningful day 🥹❤️

These wonderful women helped create an exciting new path in health care for our day programme clients last week. We couldn’t be prouder.

They made it possible for a mass visit of 15 of the women we care for to get mammograms at St George’s Hospital. The hospital also provided a free welcome kai for the women.

The big-group approach helped give our women clients the support and confidence to access this very important health screening process. When life is hard and chaotic, self-care things like this can be forgotten, and others needed help with all the forms involved.

The idea came to our women’s day programme lead Jo (third from the left) during a craft session with women at the Mission.

A volunteer mentioned she had just had a mammogram. One of the clients aged in her 50s replied “what is a mammogram?”

Another said she had had a lump in her breast for years that had never been looked at. When the group was asked how many had had a mammogram before, 90 percent said no.

But they said if Jo organised mammograms they would go, especially if they could do it together.

And that’s exactly what happened.

ScreenSouth Ltd made the mass booking happen and they want to “nurture this important connection with the Christchurch City Mission, so that more wāhine can access the care they deserve”.

It’s Monday and we’re still buzzing from Mana Pasifika over the weekend.

The themes of,

🌺 Collaboration

Were all so prominent throughout this very special day. A huge thank you to our partners and stakeholders for showing up for the women and to our community who came in to get screened or to Talanoa with us. Without you, days like these couldn’t happen. 🤍🥰

Fakaalofa lahi atu ki a mutolu oti - This week we celebrate Niuean language week as a part of the Ministry for Pacific People's, Pacific language weeks! 🥳

The theme this year, "Gahua auloa ke fakaako fakamalolō e Vagahau Niue" (Working together to diligently teach and strengthen Vagahau Niue), speaks to the power of working collectively to preserve language, culture, and identity.

At ScreenSouth Ltd, this value is reflected in our commitment to equitable screening for Pasifika communities. We recognise and celebrate the diversity of Pacific peoples, honouring the unique languages, customs, and strengths that each community brings. By working together in partnership, we build relationships founded on trust, respect, and mutual understanding, ensuring the mana of our communities is upheld while supporting better health outcomes for all.
