Dear Wellington - ANZAC Day will look a little different for us this year - however there are many ways for you to acknowledge the incredible men and women who have served our communities and given their lives for our country.

We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below. It could be a story of a member in your family who served - or perhaps the way you and your family celebrate ANZAC Day each year. (It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).

We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.

Stories from the ANZACs

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

With the evenings getting cooler, we have had a number of enquiries regarding chimney cleaning during the Level 4 Covid 19 Lockdown. Fire and Emergency NZ has received an update regarding chimney sweepers being essential service for health and safety reasons.

Tradespeople:
Tradespeople can do maintenance if it is to maintain the necessities of life or critical to safety. This includes electricians, plumbers and builders.

If you have safety concerns about your fire place or chimney, contact your local chimney sweep or plumber and have a discussion with them on the way forward. They may have questions such as have you got any other form of heating? What are the symptoms/how urgent is the job?

If you have the tools and experience and are going to clean out your chimney yourself, be safe. We dont want to have to turn up to load you into an ambulance or lower you off the roof!

Hi Neighbours!

I am creating a care package to donate to the Wellington Woman’s Refuge.

All around New Zealand women are affected by domestic violence and seek protection at women’s shelters. They are provided with food, shelter, warmth and much more. But some things are harder to access than others.

Personal beauty products can help boost their self confidence and wellbeing.

It would mean a great deal to me and i’m sure the women in these shelters if you could take some time out of your day at your next supermarket or chemist trip to pick up a few of the following items.
⁃ face moisturiser
⁃ cleanser
⁃ facial wipes
Anything in this category would be of great help.

I will sort out a pick-up or drop-off plan if you could get back to me asap so I can collect your donations!

This could really make an impact to these woman’s wellbeing, so would be amazing if you could help out. Or forward this message to someone you know might be interested in helping out! Thanks in advance!

I’m proud to have served our country, and I’m proud to be backing the RSA's call to #StandAtDawn.

Instead of attending a dawn service, we are encouraging all New Zealanders to go down to their gates (or whatever you can do safely with the current rules) and stand and observe one minute’s silence at 6am. I encourage all New Zealanders to get behind this idea, while still abiding by the lockdown rules.

This Anzac Day, we as a nation can #StandAtDawn to show how united and strong we are in the face of the situation we are up against.
