Newlands Community House

Lesley from Paparangi

givealittle.co.nz...

Hi Neighbors - Newlands Community House has been operating for over 40 years, and this past year we struggled a lot with fundraising and missed out on quite a few grant applications. The house looks after members, supporting Independence with Dignity while they remain in their own homes for as long as possible. We also organise local activities for them to participate in and socialise so they are not on their own or alone. Some of the groups we have are Knitting, sewing, exercise classes, and they all come together on a Friday for a lunch prepared by some of our volunteers. We would really appreciate your support.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.
