Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!
Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.

A curious feature of the furniture market is that if you know where to look, you can often find better deals at independent retailers than big chain stores.
We’ve got freedom to choose what we stock, which is how we get some pretty exclusive, fabulous furniture that is so affordable.

Founded 10 years ago, The Best Furniture Shop has gone from strength to strength. We don’t have a massive markup because we don’t have high overheads. That’s how we keep the prices down.
Filling The Best Furniture Shop’s large, warehouse-like store is a wide variety of quality furniture for every room of the house. Items exactly the same as found in big name stores but without the high mark-up.
For Christchurch shoppers, delivery is just $50 for as many items as will fit in the van.

The redevelopment is more than a quarter of the way through and is part of the Canterbury-wide Ministry of Education programme to repair and upgrade schools after the earthquakes. The whole project will be finished by the end of 2020. Check out what the school will look when the project is complete in the bird's eye view below. The link takes you to a dedicated blog about the redevelopment, updated every week.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.
Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

ROLLESTON
Price is for all ducks
I have 6 ducks that we need to rehome due to changes in circumstances.
We have had all 6 ducks from new born and they are all between 2 and 3 years old.
We have one male/drake and 6 females/ducks
1 male Indian runner duck
1 female Indian runner duck
2 female Indian runner / muscovy ducks (Cross)
2 female Khaki Campbell ducks
All ducks are healthy and happy.
They live free range (in aviary at night)
They will not fly away, but the Muscovy ducks can all jump a 1 meter high fence if you do not clip the wings
They lay eggs in the spring and summer.
Egg sizes vary between very large and very small
Each breed of duck are related so breeding should be done with other ducks.
They eat grain all year around, layer pellets in the spring and summer.
They eat most human food scraps (Don't give them unhealthy stuff)
They love bananas. Yes, its true (:
They don't make too much noise, but they do quack when scared or hungry.
If you would like to know more then please contact me.
Looking to rehome as soon as practical.
Ducks will not be sold for eating or to anyone who will not look after them. And they must be homed somewhere that has space for them.
The ducks can be moved in boxes, but you will need a large car to fit them all in. Or more then one trip.
Please call or message me on 020 4087 5352
