If you don't know where you want to jump yet, that's absolutely fine. Your local Cancer Society team can talk you through your options and help you pick the jump site that's right for you.

Our community patrollers will conduct a short road closure on Surrey Street, near the intersection of Main Road at around 9.40am tomorrow morning, Tuesday 25 April.

This is to allow the Tawa ANZAC parade to walk from the New World carpark, down to the RSA on Oxford Street, and shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes.

Following the parade itself, there will be a service at the RSA end of Oxford Street. This end of Oxford Street will also be closed to vehicles.

Please respect the closures that will be in place, and take an alternate route if you need to travel in this vicinity. In some cases, you may need to park your vehicle, and walk to where you need to get to.

This is a Tawa community commemoration, and the public are most welcome to march in the parade, attend the service and pay tribute on this special day of remembrance, and join in the RSA clubrooms for a light morning tea afterwards.

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz
