You would have seen an article in your local paper on Mary Potter Hospice. It is a really tough time for charities at the moment and hospices, like Mary Potter, are struggling.
Is it right that they have to rely on people like Kāpiti real estate agent Doug Palmer to raise funds? He has been raising money for Mary Potter for about 20 years.
During that time, he estimates he has helped raise about $75,000, raffling fish caught in a fishing contest.

Despite a smallish drop in Wellington's new cases today, the rolling average and active cases both increased slightly. Hospitalisations still high, but the rolling average has fallen slightly for the last few days.

Hopefully this is just a blip, but it shows we still need to keep masking and social distancing where possible. Stay safe!

With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

Hi everyone,
I'm a student looking to upgrade my current cellphone but don't have much money. I'm just wondering if anyone had one they no longer use that they could pass on cheap or free?
Thanks,
Gemma.
Does anyone have a spare bedroom desk preferably with draws and in good condition? Anything similar to the picture would be fine

I do have a small health concern to discuss. If you would like to meet me please don't hesitate to apply."
