#saveonemorelife hackathon help needed!

Sonya from Manly

Hi everyone, I am participating in a Hackathon where a bunch of diverse people have come together this weekend and I‘d love your help. Our team, SafeSense is working to save one more life on the road. More than 1000 people died or seriously injured in 2017 due to loss of control or head on crash on the road on a bend.
I‘d love to hear from you and what you think might help preventing other drivers crashing in similar situations.
Please leave a message here and/or PM me your thoughts today if possible as our team are presenting to judges tomorrow. Please feel free to share with anyone else who might have something to share! Thanks all :)
Question - Are you a driver? If so, where do you normally drive to?
Question - Any particular spot you are nervous on those journeys? Any particular dangerous event you can think of?
Question - What do you think needs to happen to prevent further lives loss on a bend?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

If you have surplus, why not donate it? Our community food banks will be incredibly grateful for your generosity, especially as the need for support continues to rise. 💚

Every contribution, big or small, helps nourish those in need. Let’s come together to make a difference this season!

🎁 Share the Joy This Christmas! 🎁

This festive season, let's make it special for children in our community. If you'd like to donate a new gift for a child, we would be honored to pick it up and deliver it to the Hibiscus Coast Salvation Army. 🎄✨

They’ll be supporting 80 local families in need this Christmas, and your thoughtful contribution could brighten a child’s holiday with joy and hope. 💝

Thank you for spreading the spirit of giving—together, we can make a difference. 💚
