When Lighting Fireworks...............STAY SAFE!!


Remember these simple safety tips to keep you, your family and your Neighbours Safe.
*   Read and follow instructions on fireworks
*   Read them with a torch..........NOT a lighter
*   Light in an open area away from flammable materials
*   Fireworks, alcohol and drugs are a dangerous combination
*   Never let your children light fireworks
*   Keep a hose or bucket of water handy
*   If one of the fireworks fails to ignite, do not try to re-ignite
*   Burns should be put under cold running water for at least 10 minutes
THINK OF OTHERS:
*   Fireworks are noisy - consider your neighbours and young children
*   Keep your pets inside
*   Point fireworks at the stars.......not your mates!!


We love meeting our Neighbours.....But lets not meet by accident this Guy Fawkes. Have Fun and Stay Safe!!

We wish everyone a safe Halloween but we need to remember that not everyone wants to be part of Halloween celebrations.

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:

- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.

Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.

If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.

Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.
