Donation for a photoshoot
I have a fundraising special up for grabs!
Heart Kids NZ help supports kiwi kids born with heart defects, the highest occurring serious birth defect in New Zealand.
A very good friend of mine is a mother of a Heart Warrior, and I don't know how she has kept it together. When this fundraiser came up I felt it was the least I could do to show my support for them. So, I'm taking the plunge and we have a fundraising goal to meet.
To help raise funds for this amazing cause I'm offering 10 one-hour photoshoots for $50 each.
To secure your photoshoot visit this link, hscwellington19.everydayhero.com... donate your $50 and leave a comment that includes 'photoshoot fundraiser'. Make sure you send me a message to let me know you have done it so I can give you a voucher to confirm your photoshoot. You can use it for yourself or give it to someone as a gift. Message me if you have any questions about this fundraiser or the photoshoot. All high resolution images from the shoot are included. See www.facebook.com... for some of my work.
Vouchers will expire 31 December 2019.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Newlands Resilience Group
Dear All,
Community Survey 2024
Introduction
Community resilience is having the resources, social capital, communication, and competence so the community can thrive. Disaster resilience is being ready, able to respond to, and able to recover from a disaster. A community is more likely to be disaster-resilient if it is community-resilient. A community can be resilient if a holistic and sustainable approach is taken to the well-being of its people. This survey will help inform community conversations to generate ideas to improve community resilience and wellbeing. The survey includes some basic disaster readiness questions. For more information, please visit the Newlands website newlandsnz.weebly.com...
How, When and Who
This survey can be completed online either in private or in a group and for example at home, a community gathering or a neighbor’s house etc. The survey is anonymous, and confidential and does not record any personal data of the respondents. The Aotearoa Community Resilience Network charitable trust is the caretaker of the survey data. No other public or private organization or persons have ownership or access rights to the data.
Next steps
The data will be added to the responses from previous surveys here and the results will be shared with the community. This includes a series of community conversations from February to April 2025 to discuss the findings and agree on the steps to enhance Newland’s resilience and well-being. Please tick the last box in the survey, and include your email, if you are interested in knowing more about what we are trying to do.
