Trust House Grant for Distraction Packs for Kapi Mana Police
We recently applied for a Trust House grant for funds to supply Kapi Mana Police with distraction packs to be given to children when they respond to emergency incidents or home visits . Each pack includes an activity book , pencils and a fidget items and are packaged in a sturdy book bag.
This was a fun project for us this year and part of a national Altrusa New Zealand campaign to supply distraction packs to emergency responders across New Zealand
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
