Support for families bereaved in crashes - Brake, the road safety charity
Brake is a national road safety charity that works to prevent road deaths and injuries and support people bereaved and injured in crashes. We do this through awareness-raising initiatives such as Road Safety Week, providing road safety information and advice to schools, communities and organisations, and by providing free support resources to families affected by crashes.
Our support book for children has a very simple goal - to help children recover from the shattering experience of someone they love dying in a crash, and to help them develop into happy and balanced people. The book is provided free of charge to families affected by crashes.
Funding through a Community Grant would enable us to reprint this book and continue providing this free support to families.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
