Storm Recovery Navigators Drop-in session in Glenfield
Auckland Council’s Recovery Office will be hosting a drop-in event with their storm recovery navigators on Thursday from 11am-3pm at our Library.
These events are for any individuals, families and whānau who’ve been affected by the flood and landslides earlier this year in any way and need support.
At these free drop-ins, you can speak to one of our storm recovery navigators one-on-one about your situation. Our navigators are your first port of call. Whether you have questions about decisions being made about your home, your insurance situation, accessing financial assistance, or need support to deal with the emotional and mental toll, our navigators are here to connect you to the resources and information you need to navigate your way through the coming months and beyond.
Please spread the word if you know of any friends, family or whānau who may benefit from coming along.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
