Colour The World Orange
My name is Jo Edwards, I am chairperson of Kiwi CRPS Charitable Trust, which is a New Zealand registered Charity.
Currently we actively support about 400 members and their families who are affected by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a rare and extremely debilitating neurological chronic pain condition.
The Trust provides support and advocacy via social media and runs regional groups across New Zealand. Kiwi CRPS Charitable Trust has helped raise awareness of CRPS over the past few years amongst medical professionals and support services by working as a group, helping members access information, advocacy, and communication tools. You can find more information here www.kiwicrps.co.nz...
November 7th 2022 is designated International ‘Color the World Orange’ CRPS Awareness Day. Orange symbolises CRPS and the burning pain sufferers experience. Every year, CRPS organisations around the world use the opportunity to brighten up the world around them. More information here nationaltoday.com...
The hastings District Council (along with many other areas this year) have agreed to light up our Hastings Clock tower Orange on Monday 7th Nov. I will be there at 7.45pm, along with several others from our HB group. We would love to share our stories with anyone who comes along.
We are trying hard to put NZ on the map for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
