Christchurch Pacific Disability Day Celebration

Anele Bamber from Vaka Tautua

We're excited to celebrate with our Pacific community in Christchurch this month for our annual Christchurch Pacific Disability Day on Friday 24th November 11am-3pm!
We will have speakers Gafa Tuiloma - General Manager for Etu Pasifika as well as shared testimonies from service users, Mr Tuvalu Fuimaono from Pharmac and Information Stalls with people from Arthritis New Zealand, Ministry of Health Needs Assessment Services, Older People Services, Pacific Health services, Blind Foundation, Social Housing, Diabetes NZ and FREE HEALTH CHECKS.

On the day, there will be some demonstrations of disability sports activities, as well as some mini Zumba and fun games. There will be finger food served during the event, and delicious Island food after.
Come along for fun day and bring your family. Same venue as last year at the Aranui Community Centre, 31 Hampshire Street, Aranui!

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.
