Thank you to the 3 men who helped me help young Jack. His caregiver was frantic and Jack was having not a good time. To the men who got Jack safely out of the car and held him on the grass with assistance. And thank you for those who slowed down and offered help.

Thank you to the 3 men who helped me help young Jack. His caregiver was frantic and Jack was having not a good time. To the men who got Jack safely out of the car and held him on the grass with assistance. And thank you for those who slowed down and offered help.
Jack was reunited with his mum and was taken safely home.
Too often I hear negative comments about Takanini, but today enforced my sense of human kindness and gratitude.
If my child was in that situation I would be eternally grateful.
Whatever dear Jacks affliction is, we do not judge - we want him safe.
God bless and thank you all.

Falling over isn’t part of the aging process

The Team from ACC New Zealand

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 … View more
It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.

Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.

The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.

Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.

Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Suitable for lighter weight adults and children. It has had plenty of use and a few repairs but we were still using it on our last camping trip. Not going again so out it goes! Great for seating extras at back yard barbies too.
