🧘‍♀️ Tuesday Qigong Classes Cancelled 🧘‍♂️

Hi neighbors! A big thank you to everyone who joined the Qigong classes! Due to some personal changes, I’ll be canceling the Tuesday morning sessions for now. But fret not—I'm cooking up some exciting plans! 🎉

In the works are Qigong and Tai Chi sessions in the park when the weather gets warmer. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, just give me a shout and I'll keep you updated!

Thanks again for being part of the Qigong journey! 😊

(Tai Chi classes on Monday mornings are still going)

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

They decided to leave without leaving any contact details. Now we have this on CTV camera, so this is your chance to come forward and do the right thing. You won't get away with it either way, so it's better. Being honest. Your details are with the police and insurance company, so it is only a matter of time before you need to pay for the damage. It may be cheaper to just get our car fixed than pay our excess or yours if you have insurance.
Last chance to come forward before the blue uniform comes knocking.

BEWARE: Scammers impersonating Police taking advantage of vulnerable, older people

Police are aware of reports emerging overnight where people have received a phone call from someone claiming to be a Police officer.

The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you.

People have been directed to go to the bank and withdraw money for evidence of the scam.
This is a scam – no legitimate Police officer will ever ask you to hand over money for any reason.

Overnight we have had five instances of this being reported, people need to be vigilant.
Enquiries into reports of scams of a similar nature received last week remain ongoing.

We appreciate these scammers are convincing, but New Zealand Police will never contact you and ask you to withdraw money. New Zealand Police will also never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, PIN or passwords.

Older members of our community are being targeted and Police urge anyone with elderly or vulnerable relatives to make them aware this activity is a scam.

There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties.

Remember:
• Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, PIN or passwords over the phone.
• Trust your instincts.
• If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
• If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details.
• Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
• Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.

If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.

Take the chance to upskill yourself on scam awareness, check for further information on the Netsafe website: netsafe.org.nz...
