What are your winter-warming hacks?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Sam was disengaged and struggling to find meaning in his daily routine of attending school, doing chores, and playing video games. Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.

After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.

He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.

A petition is circulating to get curtains added as part of the Healthy Homes Standards in the hopes of helping renters avoid living in cold, damp conditions. Do you think curtains should be mandatory for New Zealand homes?

Veteran filmmaker Paul Davidson has curated the festival, which he says will be of much interest and enjoyment for Marlborough audiences. Every film is either about Marlborough, or is made by Marlborough filmmakers.
The Festival kicks off of June 15 with the 40th anniversary screening of that classic Marlborough comedy “Carry Me Back”. Three Seddon farmers head to the Capital in support of the Red Devil’s shield challenge – and things don’t go as planned. The film’s producer, Graeme Cowley, has given permission for this special screening and will be in attendance to introduce his film and explain the background.

June 15th, 22nd, 29th
Renwick Anglican Church Hall
54 high Street
$10 entry, includes light supper.
