All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ to paying it forward in line at a cafe - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, build a free community library for your street, buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re spreading kindness this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Keep our Glendene Esplanade

Richard from Henderson

I wish to bring to your attention that I received information on the weekend that the owners of Span farm Boat Yard 20 Akatea Rd Glendene were in negotiation with Auckland city council to lease part of the Glendene esplanade for commercial gain.

I and my fellow friends who use that area for water born recreational activities and others who walk the track strongly oppose any return of the Glendene Esplanade water front and the public land bordering Span Farm. I know personally that the owners brought the land for the sole purpose of stopping someone else from buying it and then complaining about the dust etc that they create from there concrete crushing plant next door. I have been part of Span Farm for 17 years and when one of the past owners let the Esplanade lease go the council came in and removed all the buildings and had all removable property on the Esplanade removed and the owner was told not to use the Esplanade.
The owner of Span Farm has tried many times to stop people from enjoying the Esplanade as he believes he is entitled to it. He is still using the land now for personal gain and this must stop. Please action our request. We are passionate about our water front’s and that they be there for the good of the general public and not be released back to private enterprise. We don’t wish to go to the papers etc but will do if this matter continues to drag on.

Hey neighbours,

Gastronomes can expect 31 days of specially curated menus at the value-for-money price points of $25, $40 or $55+.

Restaurants included span those from the waterfront to the CBD, and from stalwarts such as Euro, Botswana Butchery and Odettes​ Eatery, to the newcomers and the underdogs.

Viv Beck, Heart of the City chief executive, said this year’s lineup is “more world-class than ever” thanks to the “inspiring lineup of chefs”, some of whom have recently returned to Auckland from stints overseas.
