Manukau East Shopping Shuttle - will not run this Thursday

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

The Manukau East Shopping Shuttle will not run this Thursday because of uncertainty surrounding Auckland's COVID Alert Level. However, as soon as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gives us the green light, we'll be back on the road again.
Here's a quick recap about how this vital MECOSS activity, operates within YOUR community!
The Manukau East Shopping Shuttle, is a door-to-door service enabling socially isolated seniors an opportunity to get-out-and- about and do their own personal shopping at Botany Town Centre and Pakuranga Plaza.
A $10 fee includes the return trip, 2 hours of shopping time and a chance to enjoy a chat over a FREE cup of coffee or tea.
Assistance from a supportive and friendly Companion Shopper is always on hand and Mobility Equipment is available if required.
Necessary social distancing protocol and face mask wearing regulations are strictly adhered to.
For more information, please phone the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle on 0800 632 677

What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.

This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
