At the age of 12, Maia set up the Lazy Sneakers charity to rehome used sneakers to children in need.

Hiria Te Rangi — Kaiwhakahaere (CEO) Whare Hauora

Hi neighbours,

How sweet is Joan Hodgins? The Kāpiti woman recently celebrated her 90th birthday by treating 34 children to a day of adventure - which included Scenic flights, a trip to Wellington Zoo and a ride on a double-decker "party bus". It was a day that rewarded children who had overcome tough times, Hodgins said.

"I thought that instead of having a lavish birthday party I could do something for children with difficulties. After all, if you're fortunate, isn't it nice to give to someone else?" To read more about Joan's story, click here.

Bird breeding season means it's also trapping pests season!

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Right now it’s bird breeding season, which means extra vigilance when trapping!

The number of rats, stoats, and other bird predators you’re trapping may well go down as there are plenty of baby birds for them to dine out on instead of trap bait ☹️ So it’s really important to increase the effectiveness of these traps by clearing them much more often! This is the best thing you can do for the birds in your area between October and December.

Yesterday my husband had to brake sharply to avoid going into a car that turned into the right hand lane instead of keeping left. We were on the left lane and the driver turned right in front of us so was on our left lane instead on being on the right lane. He was left quite shaken after the incident and so was I. The driver (a resident of the road) did not even seemed perturbed. This is not the first time this has happened but I am hoping it is the last. To avoid nasty accident keep left when turning into roads. Thankyou
