Take Time Out - Friendship, fun and support for carers
Do you care for a parent, spouse, child, sibling, friend or neighbour who, because of frailty or mental, physical or intellectual disability, cannot manage everyday living without your help or support?
The Heretaunga Women's Centre is offering this new group service and would greatly appreciate your help.
Come and join us for the first of our meetups created to provide an uplifting, supportive and nurturing group. A time for YOU to kick back, enjoy the company of new friends and enjoy feeling relaxed and cared for. Help us by sharing what you would like to learn or enjoy. Help us make this group exactly what you want.
This first meetup is completely free and includes complimentary morning tea.
Over the coming months, the wonderful team at Heretaunga Women's Centre would like to share with you a range of holistic approaches to wellbeing including relaxation techniques, creating foods for instant energy, aromatherapy, hand massage and many other simple but effective ways to support yourself.
This event has been created to provide an understanding, non-judgemental, caring and confidential environment in which carers can make friends share their concerns, acknowledgements, challenges and frustrations.
As this is a daytime meeting so it's for women only at this venue. We're busy securing other venues so all you lovely men caring for loved ones can join the fun soon.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
