A beautiful way to connect with your inner child on a regular basis is to find a photo that you like of you as a child. Have it with you in your handbag or cell phone screen cover or next to your bed...every time you see it look at that beautiful child's eyes and smile and affirm:
"I love you and care for you, you are never alone. "
Feel how it feels to know that inner child connection, you might see an image or colours as you close your eyes, there might even be a certain smell, a scent that takes you deeper.
It's like the tree with rings all there now...you are at every moment of all ages...connected, all there... now...<3

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.

Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.

Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.

Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property.

Poll: How do you feel about John Key’s comments on the Covid-19 response?

Sir John Key’s recent media blitz was full of suggestions for how the Covid-19 response could have been done better. Some have been found to be false (such as his claim we could have paid Pfizer for preferential supply), and some seem to have lit a fire under the Government to get things moving (such as the suggestion of home quarantining).

How do you feel about Key’s contribution?

How do you feel about John Key’s comments on the Covid-19 response?

• It was constructive and I support his points
• It lit a fire under the Government and extracted much needed clarity
• It was armchair commentary and he didn’t know what he was talking about
• It was a struggling National’s attempt to regain some popularity
