monster garage sale/ Market Day being planned
hi there everyone. As we know, so many people struggle with depression and anxiety nowadays but it can be difficult finding support. Evolve Peer Support Trust is a charity based group trying to do something practical.
Monster Garage Sale/Market day
We need your help!!!
Evolve is a charity that helps your community in a very positive way by running groups that directly support those who live with Depression and /or Anxiety. It is based on the peer support principle that those who “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” can offer a greater depth of understanding and specific support. We currently run a group in Te Awamutu, several groups in Hamilton and a specialised group for those who also live with Autism. The need is obviously there for these groups and we plan to expand throughout the Waikato and other areas. But we need funds to achieve this.
All money raised at this event goes directly to the running of these support groups. Come along and support this worthwhile cause and grab yourself some bargains!!!
Date: Saturday 21st April 7.30am to 2pm
Place: St Aidan’s Church Hall, Corner of Thames Street and Heaphy Tce, Claudelands, Hamilton

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
