Samaritans is turning Blue Monday into Brew Monday on 18 June, by encouraging people to get together for a cup of tea and a chat, which is a great way to connect with people and improve your mental health.
We live in an age where people communicate by text or online rather than sitting down and having a proper two way conversation with each other. Brew Monday is about encouraging people to take the time to really talk and connect with people in a meaningful way.
Workplaces up and down New Zealand are being encouraged to stage Brew Monday tea and chat events to raise funds for Samaritans life-saving helpline service too, so that for people who feel they have nowhere else to turn, we can always be there.
To support Samaritans text HOPE to 5785 to donate $3 or get together with friends or work colleagues for a cuppa and share your moment on social media using the hashtag #NZBrewMonday.

We're about to start upgrading the wastewater network at the corner of Victoria and Dixon Streets in Wellington's CBD.

Work will begin on Monday next week (11.6.18) and is expected to take six months to complete.

The project includes the construction of a new underground pump station at Volunteer Corner and an upgrade of the pipes beneath Dixon Street that connect to the wastewater mains on Willis Street.

The new infrastructure will help to relieve the pressure on the city’s other pump stations, which importantly will reduce the possibility of overflows into the harbour.

The project team will be employing new real time traffic management tracking, Mooven, to monitor and respond to any impact the works might have on surrounding streets.

For more information, and updates about the project, check out the project page on our website: wellingtonwater.co.nz...

The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.
