Blindsided - Macular Degeneration and Vision Loss Support Group
Hi all,
We are a small group of people around NZ that have been diagnosed with various eye conditions that have caused / are causing varying degrees of vision loss.
In these trying times we are aware that a number of people with low vision are on their own and without great social support, will be looking at taking greater social distancing measures, if not self isolation.
We would like to support those people through either Facebook (see below) or digitally via regular emails, texts or phone calls.
As a FB group - www.facebook.com... our purpose is to provide a forum for sharing experiences hints and tips and providing support.
If you have, or know if anyone in NZ who has vision loss that may be looking for support please join us either via the group or reach out to us via email - blindsided.nz@gmail.com
Thank you 👁
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
