"It’s really cool to be involved in the Christchurch Aunties and be part of helping bridge that gap and help some of the most vulnerable people in our community. As Secretary, I organise the meetings and agendas, take the minutes and make sure we’re doing things by the constitution.

YouTube chat with Heather M, Government Women's Network, 2020
"Founder of the Christchurch Aunties, documentary photographer, and Southern GWN Coordinator, Heather Milne has some thoughts to share about how we can start measuring success and identity by our values – and sometimes the unpaid work is the best reflection of that. Heather challenges us to think differently about how we position ourselves and and how we place value on the contributions we make to society, our families and our own mental health". |

Interview with Heather M, Bay Harbour News, 2020
"As a society, we can't make any real impact until we stop and listen. I urge people to get educated on family violence and poverty in New Zealand. Be open-minded and learn about your unconscious bias. Listen to those who speak from experience - they know more than you do on this subject. It's ok to change the way you think about things". |

Article in The Press, 2019
Milne says people in Christchurch know what it's like to go without. "We have a little idea of what it must be like for women and children who have to leave their home in the middle of the night. "We can't have their experience but we get an idea of the grief and loss they're experiencing, and I think that motivates people to donate." |
