Pyjama appeal

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

To help keep kids warm and well this winter, Wellington Hospitals Foundation has launched its annual Jammies in June Appeal.
Respiratory conditions are a leading cause of acute admissions to hospital for children and Wellington Regional Children’s Hospital sees a significant increase in the number of children who are admitted over the winter months - many of them arriving without a pair of pyjamas.
Please donate a pair of brand NEW, size 1-16 flannelette pyjamas or thermals.
Please make sure that all pyjamas meet NZ product safety standards and carry the fire safety certification.
Due to the risk of infection, only new pyjamas can be accepted.

Or make a donation online at www.whf.org.nz... and Wellington Hospitals Foundation will buy a pair on your behalf.

New pyjamas can be dropped in to receptions at: Wellington Regional Hospital, Kenepuru Hospital, and Kapiti Health Centre. Or posted to: Wellington Hospitals Foundation, Wellington Hospital Private Bag 7902, Wellington 6242

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
