How is your strength and balance?
Strength and balance classes are available across Taranaki as part of ACC's Live Stronger for Longer initiative. Hosted by friendly, knowledgeable leaders in neighbourhoods all around Taranaki there is a Strength & Balance session to suit you. Targeted towards older people these sessions offer active options for everyone in a fun and friendly atmosphere - with the chance to share a relaxed cup of tea and biscuit and catch up on all the neighborhood news.
Boosting your strength and balance guards against falls and fractures - helping you keep active and independent for longer. These sessions are making a real difference in people's lives. Why not give one a try?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
