Know the signs of a stroke

Stroke Foundation

During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.

One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.

One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

F - Face - Is it drooping on one side?
A - Arm - Is one arm weak?
S - Speech - Is it mixed up, slurred or lost?
T - Take Action - Call 111 immediately.

Think F.A.S.T., act fast, and keep looking out for each other.

Thank you, from the Stroke Foundation of New Zealand.

Send a Level 3 Love Letter to someone you miss

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighhours,

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.

But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.

While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.

Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?

Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.

You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

Interested in whats going on the town boundary at the top of Cambridge road Te Awamutu?

The latest stages of Thorncombe Park Subdivision - 20 new sections with sizes 740sqm to 860sqm



Base Civil have a number of staff from Te Awamutu who are back on the job - they had been making great progress pre lockdown so no major changes to timeframes expected yet with civil works expected to be completed in July this year.



We are trying to minimise the amount of earth moved and at this stage the main earthworks are for the roading - sand is coming in from Pirongia for the base layer.



We have lived in Te Awamutu for 16 years and we have a number of local guys who work for our building company and we are super excited about the way stage 1 has gone and are looking forward to building some great great homes - if you are interested in following progress have a look at :

Jacinda braves the shave

Taupō supportive care nurse Jacinda Mayo has seen first hand the extra stress Covid-19 has placed on cancer patients.

And as restrictions around public gatherings mean the Cancer Society has had to cancel some important fundraising events, Mayo has decided to Brave the Shave.

It’s a fundraising activity people can get involved in from the safety of their ‘bubble’, and the timing couldn’t be better with hair salons still in lockdown.

Mayo offers support to people living with cancer, and their families, in the Taupō/Turangi region.

During level 4 she’s also been making the journey to provide staffing support at the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge in Hamilton – a facility offering free accommodation to people who need to travel to Waikato Hospital for cancer treatment.

Mayo, along with another of the society’s supportive care nurses, has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $5000 for losing her locks and has already raised well over half that amount in the first week of fundraising.

The motivation for their involvement is simple: the clients they meet every day.

"As nurses, on a daily basis we are in awe of the bravery and courage that our clients, their families and those around them show. Right from the moment a client receives what may be a life-changing or life-limiting diagnosis, they and their significant others show us how brave and courageous they are.

“Somehow, and from somewhere, they find the courage to take the next step in their journey to tackle whatever is thrown at them next."

Mayo said she’s been thinking of raising funds with a head shave for a little while but thinks now's the right time to find her "little bit of brave".

"Our job is a privilege. To be allowed into someone's life and to support them through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows is something we do not take for granted. It is an honour to walk this journey with them."

Read more information about Jacinda’s progress on the brave the shave everyday hero website.
