I work for myself and know the value of getting out of the house to work! If you need someone to work, and only have a desk/laptop, let's talk about sharing my space. You'll have the office to yourself most of the time - there may be some overlap. No lease/commitment - just a easy going space that shares a boardroom/kitchen/training room with other local businesses. Cheers, Janie.

Red Cross team members have been working in Kaikoura to link households with services and essential supplies. They're also on hand to provide wellbeing support for those who are struggling with the quake's impact or for people who have just been told they can't stay in their homes.

"There's so much food and stuff gone, but we're alive - that's the main thing," says Kaikoura resident Diane Edkins (pictured) who finds out whether her house is given the all-clear while a Red Cross volunteer is with her: www.redcross.org.nz...
