Later this month we’ll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Daffodil Day, the most important day in our fundraising calendar. A day that relies on the support of more than 11,000 volunteers.
Money raised goes towards support services, education and awareness programmes, and to fund vital research into the causes and treatments of all types of cancers.
Our 30th Daffodil Day is on Friday 28th August.
Please support the superhero volunteers in your neighborhood with a donation to the Cancer Society, donate online at daffodilday.org.nz or at your local ANZ branch.

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

There are several problems which can develop over time:
1. The friction wears out & windows flop open in the breeze,
2. The hinge gets corroded & stiff to open, sometimes this can be re-covered by spraying the 4 friction joints with a spray lube, anything but the red 556 CRC which has a cutting compound in it.
3. The hinge wears & loses the ability to pull the top of the window closed
An easy way to check your friction stays is with our free draft testing card. To request a card, or book a free assessment, give us a call on 0800 25 25 00

Over the last month I have noticed our wood pile going very quickly. in fact a little too quick. and am almost certain someone comes at night to take an arm load of wood. this morning I noticed a large area of empty space where I would not usually leave in that way. Our large logs have gone very quick. If someone cheeky enough to take a piece of wood on top of a free article even though it was clearly a sign then well wood theifs are around.

Help needed - Please Share - It's that time of the year again... well, in New Zealand anyway. Unwanted baby calves are being sent to slaughter and it's happening right now. I've got the first arrival this week (4 days old) and it's hard to choose which ones are going to come home and to leave the others behind... We could do with a bit of help - calf milk powder, bottles and teats, covers, straw and hay.. we are based in Woodend and drop-offs would be absolutely amazing! I know we can't save them all but: “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.” Quote - Schindler's List.
Christchurch is leading the country in petrol price falls – but the AA is asking why it didn't happen sooner.
