Children can struggle with the impact of having a loved one with cancer.
A mixture of therapy and fun, this free workshop aims to provide children with tools and resources to build resilience and coping skills around the impact of cancer on them and their family/whānau.
Held in Rotorua on 7 April, the workshop will be facilitated by Debbie Mills-Henry, a family therapist and play specialist, alongside Penny Parsons, a Cancer Society liaison nurse with a background in paediatric nursing.

HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop. The viruses are mostly transmitted in adolescence but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they’re young.
Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV in their lifetime. Immunisation can significantly reduce HPV-related harm. Protecting all children before they’re exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
Free HPV immunisation at school or from your GP. For more info visit: www.health.govt.nz/hpv

Bring a can of food into your local Resene owned ColorShop and you can swap it for a Resene testpot*!
Every can of food you donate means you save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.60 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
We'll donate every item you bring in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks and other community foodbanks.
So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.

And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)
If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.
We are needing books again for our Annual Book Fair to be held between 4th - 6th May. We have 2 drop off points where surplus books can be left that you would like to donate.
