With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about those having a difficult time.
From elderly neighbours with no one to celebrate with to homeless families and those with disabilities struggling to just get by, reach out to someone who could use a helping hand and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!
Share your photos and experiences using the following hashtag so we can see what you got up to.

Every year, summer means an influx of Kiwis to beaches, rivers and campgrounds all over Aotearoa. Kiwis love summer – it’s in our DNA – but if we’re honest, we’re not always very good at it. Stay safe with a few tips from Westpac:

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.
And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Auckland’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 962 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.

I would like to know what gives anyone the right to steal from me or from my garden?
How dare you come around to take some free clippings I offered you and then while you were here (in my absence) you decided to steal somethings from my garden - HOW FRIGGEN DARE YOU!!!!
I know EXACTLY who you are and you name will be passed on to the appropriate people.
I have never in all the time that I have been giving free garden items, had anything stolen, everyone was so happy & so grateful. In most cases, they left with extra items.
If you desperately wanted something, all you had to do was ask. I would've given it to you.
I open my heart & my garden because so many people helped me and I want to share the love to everyone around here.
This had now made me even more weary of people and trust even less - AGAIN!
It is only because of that stupid clause called the privacy act, that I am not naming and shaming you here.
You will never ever get anything from me again - NEVER!!

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.
