Volunteers needed in Rotorua!
This February it’s our Big Heart Appeal street collection and I'm really hoping I can count on your help. Our success depends on generous people like you, who give 90 minutes of their time to collect much-needed funds for the Heart Foundation. Why 90 minutes? Because every 90 minutes another Kiwi dies from heart disease. But by coming together and shaking a bucket in your community, we can make more life-saving research.
I will be out on the streets collecting alongside fellow Kiwis this February, can I count on you to join me?
Warmest wishes,
Tony Duncan
Chief Executive
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
