Pyjama appeal
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
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
