"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
From the poem 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon
The Cancer Society has partnered with 9 skydive companies across Aotearoa to offer you a free skydive when you raise $1000.
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.

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!

Okay, it is not Friday but this picture by Rosa Marie is too good not to use.

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.

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

The workshops kick off with an introduction to composting, worm farms and Bokashi, with an opportunity to ask composting questions – a great introduction if you've wondered about composting but not quite been sure how to get started.
Composting's a great way to stop food and garden waste going to landfill, to create great fertiliser for your garden, and even to help protect our climate. There are many different ways to compost, and this workshop will help you find the right method for your household.
