Blankets 4 Kids 4 Winter Project is Underway

Rob from Bucklands Beach

Winter is on its way and the unfortunate truth is that many families in the community will not have enough blankets to keep their kids warm on winter nights.

The Collection Points will again be the Howick Information Centre, Howick Village Optometrist both in Picton Street and Grasslands in Moore Street. An additional collection point has now been added with Placemakers Pakuranga joining the team complete with signage on the Pakuranga Highway.

For those people who would like to support the appeal but do not have spare blankest Howick Rotary have set up their web site www.howickrotary.org.nz... to accept donations or you can click the link buy.stripe.com....

A Big Thank You for Supporting this Wonderful Community Project!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
