Are you a bit organised? We are looking for an Event Coordinator (volunteer position)
“Do you enjoy making sure things come together with a plan? Do you enjoy having all the ducks in a row?
Are you a bit of a to-do list diva. And do you enjoy giving back to your community?
Bellyful Hutt Valley is on the lookout for a volunteer to be our EVENT COORDINATOR.
Here’s what you need to know: At present BFHV have 5 major events planned for 2018 to help raise funds to continue providing our free meals which we provide for families with newborns or young families with serious illness.
**Together with the Branch Coordinator, you’ll create a do-able plan for each event to ensure that these are successful.
**While receiving support from the Branch Coordinator, you’ll take the lead on ensuring all the elements come together.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

scumbags
There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.
They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
