Hi there,
My daughter has special needs and being advised to cycle every day by the physiotherapist .Unfortunately I can not cycle and she cycles within our area . Some kids they abuse her and make fun of her disability . Two weeks ago , two girls and one boy stopped her and were about to hit her . Luckly there was a police car going around and saved her and really these incidents occured many times . I just wondering if anyone has a tricycle for adults for reasonable price that I can buy to accompany her so I will be able to protect her while cycling.

Hi neighbours,

Former mental health nurse Jude Ivy​ gave up working six years ago to dedicate her time to her husband Chris, who was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer and given a year to live.

She looked after him until he died a few months later. Unemployed and alone, Ivy fell into depression, which she had struggled with in the past.

“I stayed strong for him and then when he passed, I collapsed.

“Comedy saved my life,” she said.

The comic has set up her own line-up of comedians, performing at Christchurch’s Austin Club.

“I needed a spark of joy.”
