Looking to help out in the community?!

Jason Sebestian from Red Cross - Waikato Service Centre

Here's your chance to help out those who need it the most!


New Zealand Red Cross are looking for new volunteers to help us with our vital Meals On Wheels delivery service. Our much needed service involves delivering hot healthy meals to those who need it the most - the elderly, sick and infirmed. Our fantastic volunteers provide a much needed point of social contact for our community and a nutritious healthy meal! You can volunteer to help out as a volunteer driver either regularly or on a casual basis. The service you will be providing is a vital part of what makes our Hamilton community work.


Get in touch with us today to find out more or check out the Seek Volunteer link. You can also volunteer for us through Volunteering Waikato. To enquire - contact us at 078490285 or email us at Waikato@redcross.org.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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.

While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
