“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”

We are a non affiliated, not for profit choir whose purpose is to be of service to the community, taking live music to charitable institutions such as rest homes and hospitals as well as local arts venues. We sing for joy and our purpose is to generate uplifting music in these difficult times. Our repertoire includes a lot of Renaissance and other classical music; also gospel, world, folk and contemporary. Choral experience is good but not essential. We are a reading choir so some ability to read music is a pre-requisite. There is a wide age range - young to ca 65. Rehearsals are in Titirangi on Mondays, 7.15 - 9.15pm. For further information please contact the Musical Director Brigid Bisley at brigidbisley@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you :)

Just to let you know these phone calls are currently going round.
"Good morning, according to our system, you are likely to have been in close proximity to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means that you now need to self-isolate for 7 days and take a COVID-19 test."
"OK. Can you tell me who that person was?"
"I'm not able to tell you that. That is confidential information."
"Right. Um... so ...."
"But you do need to be tested within the next 72 hours. So can I just get the best mailing address so that we can send a kit to you?"
"Ok (gives address)"
"Thank you - and I just need to take a payment card so that we can finalize this and send the kit to you."
"Sorry - a payment card? I thought this was all free?"
"No - I'm afraid not. There is a one-off fee of $50 for the kit and test results. Could you read off the long card number for me, please, when you're ready."
"No - that's not right."
"I'm afraid it is. Can you give me the card number please - this is very important, and there are penalties for not complying."
Puts the phone down.
This is how scammers work and vulnerable people will fall for it.
PLEASE BE AWARE AND WARN OTHERS - LET'S STOP THESE VILE PEOPLE FROM DOING THIS!!!!

The story will examine the role of religion and faith in New Zealand, and how it has changed over the last few decades.
Do you know of any unique places of worship in Auckland? Perhaps you have a special area in your home where your family meets to pray, or the way you cook and meet people is shaped by your faith? How does your faith help you through challenging times?
I'd love to hear from people of all religions - please email me a little bit about yourself at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz if you're interested in sharing.
