At the Red Cross in Dargaville we are standing together to stop bullying. It’s all pink at the Red Cross this week to support a Bullying-Free NZ.
Did anyone else hear that ACC are sitting on a fund of $44 billion???? Did I get that wrong? If right, how about some of it be spent on victims who could really do with help? I'll just leave this here....

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.
They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.

Members of Ngā Hapū o Whangārei supported the planting in honour of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, signed in the time of Queen Victoria. The long association of the Tai Tokerau tribes with the Monarch began in 1831 when Ngāpuhi chiefs corresponded with King William IV, which resulted in the signing in 1835 of He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nū Tīreni (Declaration of Independence of the United Tribes of New Zealand) which enabled Māori to treat with Great Britain five years later in 1840.
Pictured holding the spade with Mayor Vince Cocurullo is 86 year-old hapū member Anne Davies (nee Malcolm) whose ancestor Hōri Tahua and ancestress Te Rangitopeora were among the signatories to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. During the planting, Anne reflected on the time Queen Elizabeth II visited Whangārei following her Coronation in 1953, recounting how the Queen stayed at the Grand Hotel and received the Whangārei people from the balcony.

The programme helped him explore different career paths and Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort. The Foundation took the opportunity to hire him and he now helps other young people involved in the programme on their career journeys.
