The Salvation Army's annual Christmas Appeal, "Give A Little Joy This Christmas," is crucial this year due to rising hardship.

Over one in five Kiwi children face food insecurity, with the situation worse for Māori and Pacific families. Rising unemployment and the cost of living crisis are pushing more people into need, but donations and government support are dwindling.

Despite this, The Salvation Army continues to provide vital services, including food, counselling, and lifestyle programmes. Donations, no matter the size, bring long-term change to families, ensuring joy this Christmas and beyond.

Are you a wellness provider looking for an office in Upper Hutt?

Andrew from Birchville

Hi everyone
Today I met with Peter Lagan, the landlord of what used to be Mint Clinic, above Lagan's Pharmacy in Upper Hutt. We met with a view to me moving my business, Andrew Hardwick Hypnotherapy, into that space, but it's way too big for me on my own. Peter's asked me to help … View more
Hi everyone
Today I met with Peter Lagan, the landlord of what used to be Mint Clinic, above Lagan's Pharmacy in Upper Hutt. We met with a view to me moving my business, Andrew Hardwick Hypnotherapy, into that space, but it's way too big for me on my own. Peter's asked me to help him look for health and wellness professionals who maybe just need a single room each, rather than a whole floor. It's a clean and impressive space, with soundproofed rooms, air conditioning, a variety of lighting and an elevator to enable access for anyone who can't manage the stairs. Lagan's is in a great position next to a huge free car park, opposite H2Oxtreme Leisure Pool and the Upper Hutt Library. Here's an external picture. Please contact me if interested. thanks

About three years ago I was questioned by Upper Hutt City Council survey staff about what is ideally needed for the two large parks/reserves in the Wallaceville Estate in Wallaceville.

So from the top of my head, I said a large, interesting children's playground and some open and covered bench seating for Grant's Bush Reserve and all weather pedestrian/dog walkers tracks/pathways plus strategic bench seating for The Reserve.

Lo and behold this is exactly what the Council has done now that work has almost been completed in The Reserve.

I take full credit or no credit.

The most remarkable thing is that the playground is an absolute beacon for other recreational activities in the surrounding grassy (and weedy) areas summer and winter.

And I now have seen kids playing football in The Reserve.

My "job" has been to keep hassling the Council regarding Grant's Bush Reserve grass/weeds mowed more often so that the fields can be utilised for all the extraordinary activities that go on. I think I have won on this count.

Prior to the children's playground, GBR was pretty much dead apart from a few people exercising their dogs. Now even this activity has grown enormously.

Children and adults do come from further afield just than those living in the estate.
