Friends of Belmont Regional Park – walk today OFF

Mary Bisset from Friends of Belmont Regional Park Inc

Once again the weather has beaten us! Perhaps a 3rd try at a later time will be lucky – it will be worth it for the views.
In the meantime we are planning another walk – probably for Easter Monday. If you are going to be around then watch for details.

Hey Neighbourly family - we need your help!

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.

Mary Bisset from Friends of Belmont Regional Park Inc

This is still on - tho’ the view might be a misty autumn rather than clear summer scene! Suitable footwear & a parka are essential.
It is hard to tell what the weather will do - so a final confirmation will be posted here at 8am. See instructions to get there below.

An application has been lodged to convert the largely vacant tower into residential living space. Do you remember the glory days of the TVNZ Avalon studios?
