Hearing loss is an invisible disability affecting 880,350 New Zealanders, or one in six of us. It’s predicted that by 2050, it will affect one in four.

Silent Leadership Challenge 2018 takes place on Friday 21 September. On that day, corporate and community leaders and teams will be tackling various challenges while wearing hearing protectors to simulate deafness.

Funds raised will help support the work of The national Foundation for the Deaf and Hearing New Zealand

Thank you to MSA The Safety Company for donating the hearing protectors.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
