Random Acts of Kindness

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

Random Acts of Kindness NZ (RAK) needs helping hands for a couple of random acts.
- One Selwyn resident needs someone local to help them by cleaning their oven. They are unaware they have been nominated and this would mean a lot to them. Can anyone help them soon?
- A Selwyn family need help with building materials (new or used) to build a fort for their children who have sensory needs. Volunteers are also needed to help build it. Can you help?
- RAK are also looking for Selwyn businesses who would like to be part of this years Christmas Kindness Hamper initiative. Last year RAK was able to donate food and decorations to families in need and this year they hope to be able to help even more families.
CAN YOU HELP?
If you can help with any of the above Acts, head to the Random Acts Of Kindness NZ page or email: gifts@randomactsofkindness.co.nz

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
