Wheelchair accessible swing for Whangarei

Glen from Central Whangarei

2024 Wheelchair Accessible Seesaw, Raumanga. We are thrilled to share that our fundraising was successful, and as of October 2024, the construction for a wheelchair friendly seesaw is underway in Raumanga, Whangarei. We will update you with photos once construction is complete.

Now that 2024 is rolling to a successful close, we are setting our sights on our next project. We are asking you, the community, to have your say on the next location for a wheelchair friendly swing. Our two preferred locations are the playground being planned in Onerahi OR Pohe Island playground. Please vote via our poll on our Facebook page, or contact us at childrenwithdisabilitynz@gmail.com

Option one -- Onerahi
Option two -- Pohe Island

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.
