Find out how your old glasses can be good as new

Steph Hill from Foureyes Foundation

This June, you can put your old glasses to good use. We're collecting donations of good quality used glasses, reading/hobby glasses, and sunglasses to take to Fiji. Wellington optometrist Ravi Dass will be joining a team of optometrists and other medical professionals volunteering their time to help around 2,000 people to see more clearly. We're working with a number of Wellington businesses and schools, and will keep you posted on public collection points as well.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
