ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

These Thursday evening classes will run as an 8 week block course at the Good News Community Centre (78 Breckons Ave, Nawton). They are offered free to the community.

Our new and well achieved tutor Tuahana Clark began her passion for Raranga as a child as she observed her kuia weave for their marae. Tuahana is well versed in the art of traditional gathering and dyeing and has received many tohu (awards) from various education providers along with a Master of Arts in Tikanga Maori. This expertise and knowledge has allowed Tuahana (along with others) to produce over 70 whariki (mats) many wahakura (safe sleeping beds for babies) and korowai (cloak) for a local church.

Tuahana is passionate about sharing her skills and knowledge, is the Chairperson of Nga Hua O Te Rito Charitable Trust a group of enthusiastic weavers and President of Te Herenga Branch MWWL/l Maori Womens Welfare League based at Hemi Tapu.

Tuahana is married with four children, grandmother of six and great grandmother of two.

No experience is needed to attend this introductory course, but those who have weaving experience are also welcome to participate. These classes will help extend your own knowledge of a beautiful traditional art that will bring you and your whanau or family joy for many years and generations to come. These classes are open to all adults.
