Enjoy Yr Day - Own It
E Y D is more than just a charity; it's a heartfelt endeavor.
An endeavor born from Margie Rose's personal experiences and her unwavering dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of those facing mental health challenges. Margie Rose's journey from the medical field to becoming the founder and owner of this inspiring organization was sparked by her simple yet powerful motto, "Enjoy Your Day," which she shared with her patients as they embarked on their own paths.
Driven by her deep-rooted empathy and fueled by her brother's struggles with mental health, Margie's mission is clear: to spread awareness and support those in need. Through the sale of carefully crafted t-shirts and hoodies, Enjoy Yr Day - Own It not only offers stylish apparel but also channels every two purchases into a donation to the local charity Sandbag Community Centre, ensuring that individuals facing mental health difficulties receive the tangible support they deserve.
Since its inception in 2021, Enjoy Yr Day - Own It has made significant strides, donating over 100 t-shirts and hosting insightful workshops within the community. These workshops serve as nurturing spaces for individuals to connect, learn, and equip themselves with valuable skills to navigate their mental health journeys.
E Y D's commitment extends beyond online sales; they actively engage with the local community, attending events and setting up stalls to spark conversations and raise awareness about mental health. Their approach is not just about selling merchandise; it's about fostering genuine connections and understanding.
Last year marked the inaugural Enjoy Yr Day - Own It fun run, held during Mental Health Awareness Month in October. This event, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Shorncliffe and Sandgate foreshore, symbolized E Y D's belief in the therapeutic power of exercise and community support. Now, as the second fun run approaches on October 27th, participants are invited to lace up their running shoes and join the movement towards mental wellness.
By signing up for the fun run, purchasing E Y D apparel, or spreading the word, individuals can actively contribute to Margie Rose's vision of a community united in compassion and support. Every step taken and every shirt worn becomes a beacon of hope, igniting conversations and breaking down stigmas surrounding mental health.
As Enjoy Yr Day - Own It continues to grow, Margie Rose remains steadfast in her dedication to making a difference, one t-shirt, one workshop, and one community event at a time. Join the movement, embrace the message, and together, let's enjoy each day and own it.

What Our Community Is Saying:
"Well done EYD!"
"...EYD, or Enjoy Your Day, destigmatises mental health disorders by encouraging self-awareness, and selfcare, as a regular part of good mental health.
Cutting edge leisure wear raises self-image and self-esteem, while donations of product confirm value and worth. It’s a win/win situation, bought together in supporting events that create unity and community support. Well done EYD!"
Wynn Te Kani
Community Elder
"Continues to support!"
"I was a Community Support Worker at Sandbag until I retired in Dec 2023. Margaret Williams from Enjoy Your Day has supported Sandbag for a number of years by volunteering her services, her talent, at Unplugged Cafe, her products, EYD T Shirts and financial support through Fun Runs she organises. Margaret continues to support Sandbag in all of the above throughout 2024."
