Hi Neighbours!

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.

Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.

Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.

The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

I have quite a few trucks and other vehicles (cars, trains etc ...) to give away to a little boy who doesn't have a great deal of toys.
They have been loved and played with so many times, but they still have so much life in them. Too good to throw away.
I also have a couple of stuffed toys, one very large one and one cute dragon, there is also a duck puppet.
I may also find a few figurines to throw into the mix.
Please, they really need to go to someone who has a little boy or 2 who really doesn't have many toys.
