Supporting Our Young People – May 1st to 31st 👥

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

CAN ANYONE HELP ME? ADVICE NEEDED!

Hi Neighbours

Hi Neighbours

My stroke-disabled husband has died and we need to vacate his St Albans apartment by Monday, 6th May. He bought a King Single Electric Adjustable bed from Harvey Norman in late February, and enjoyed it for 3 weeks before going into hospital. I have no idea how or where to sell it and, with no family in Christchurch, have nowhere to store it. (I live in a separate pensioner flat.)

Does anybody know of any individual ... or a hospital, hospice, or rest home that might be interested in acquiring it for use by a patient or resident? Are there private organisations that look after disabled people who need something bigger than a standard single bed?

In a very stressful situation, I don't know where to start. Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

The bed cost $5500, and has always been used with a mattress protector. It is in as-new condition. Will sell for $4000 to reflect short notice and the buyer's need to collect and transport the bed. Viewing can be arranged. Photos on request.

Please contact Margaret Quin on 022 642 6615 if you can help. Txt or phone. Or email me on mqfamilyemails@gmail.com

Sincere thanks
Marg Quin

As it is getting colder as we head into Winter it is going to get dark earlier so you switch on the lights and heat pump or light the fire.

This is a good time to think about upgrading those old and tired downlight's to new, fresh energy efficient and a lot brighter LED downlights to brighten up your house and modernise your lighting.

To think only if I could get the heat from the lounge Fire to the bedroom's, Elusion Electrical can install a heat transfer kit.
At Elusion Electrical we can freshen up you old heat pump with a new one or if you don't have a heat pump we can install one for you.

At Elusion Electrical we do domestic, residential and commercial electrical work along with the LED lighting and heat pumps. We cater for all your electrical needs.


Please call Patrick at Elusion Electrical for a free quote (in the Christchurch area)

Hi all

Burr verse Blade Grinder
Does anyone have any suggestions please
I am wanting to buy a Grinder for my chili spices
From my research i see that a coffee grinder will do the job well
But A Burr Coffee Grinder is supposedly better than that the Blade Coffee Grinder
 but these are far more expensive
I do not want to spend lots of money

Also
Are only dried spices used in a Grinder
or can you Grind fresh spices also
EG Chilies

Thanks
