Free Standing Oven Required Urgently

Debbie from Belmont

I'm wanting an oven desperately, as the current one is barely working. Only 1 element works and not at full capacity and I only have the grill working in the oven. The oven won't switch off when you turn the switch to off. I have to switch it off at the main switch on the wall. … View moreI'm wanting an oven desperately, as the current one is barely working.

Hi everyone,

Here we are hard at work rehearsing for our next production “ Lockdown in Little Grimley”.

This is the fifth of the hugely popular Little Grimley series, which follows the antics of a hapless amateur dramatic society desperate for audiences.

In a time of lockdown, the Chairman Gordon calls an emergency meeting, complete with social distancing, to discuss his idea for their next production when restrictions ease - a touching love story set in a hospital, with all profits destined for the NHS. But based on their previous efforts, will the NHS actually end up worse off?

Show dates are Thu 4th May to Sat 13rth May and we have 2 free tickets to give away for opening night on the 4th. Simply go to our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/heretaungaplayers

like and share and you’ll automatically go in the draw.

Tickets can be purchased at Lockdown in Little Grimley (iticket.co.nz) The crew at Heretaunga Players look forward to seeing you at The Studio, 52 Ward Street.

You can sign up as an individual, or as team, such as a workplace. Regardless, each person must raise $1000 or more to qualify for a free jump.

When you sign up you'll get to choose where you jump and which region you'd like your funds to go to - these don't have to be the same, they could be at opposite ends of the country.

If you don't know where you want to jump yet, that's absolutely fine. Your local Cancer Society team can talk you through your options and help you pick the jump site that's right for you.

Stop hesitating, go on, sign up now!

Get cosy with your whānau

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz
