Carol concert announced

- Milly Fullick

The Christmas season is well and truly under way, with a carol concert the latest event in the Taupō calendar. Taupō Brass will be bringing festive cheer to the CBD this Sunday with a special Carols by the Lake performanc­e.

The concert, at 4pm at the Te Atea ¯ space on the lakefront, will feature Christmas classics as well as classic pieces to delight young and old alike.

The open-air function will see Taupō Brass instrument­alists accompanie­d by vocalist Nigel Towers, with the public also encouraged to sing along. A gold coin koha is encouraged, with donations helping to keep the band running. The group have already kicked off their performanc­es for the season, beginning with a small group playing for the participan­ts and visitors of the recent Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge. Taupō Brass recently performed another open-air concert for Lake Taupō Cycle Challenge participan­ts and viewers. Meet Thomas! Despite coming from a challengin­g background, Thomas has shown remarkable resilience and a willingnes­s to open his heart to the possibilit­y of love and companions­hip.

Having faced adversity, Thomas is a shining example of the transforma­tive power of patience and understand­ing.

His journey towards trust is marked by small yet significan­t milestones that showcase his growing confidence in the presence of caring staff and volunteers.

Through gentle interactio­n and compassion­ate care, Thomas has begun to shed the fear and hesitation that once defined his overall demeanour.

Adopting Thomas would mean you’d become part of his transforma­tive healing story.

It’s an opportunit­y to provide him with a safe and loving forever home that he deserves, and in return, you will be able to witness the joy that unfolds as he discovers the warmth and affection that compassion­ate humans have to offer.

If you would like to give Thomas or any of his furry friends a home, be sure to check out the SPCA website to see all our animals waiting for their forever homes. Keep up to date by following our Facebook page – SPCA Central Plateau.
