A paid job that’s lots of fun
Support a young person with a disability.
Are you a student looking for a few hours of fun paid work or a retired grandad with energy and time to spare? This awesome job is supporting a young disabled man to have a meaningful and fun couple of hours twice per week. He is looking for someone to work Wednesdays and Fridays for two hours during the daytime, start and finish time is flexible but must be home before 5pm.
You must love activities like ten pin bowling, swimming or going to the park, plus reading books, playing with puzzles and games on the rainy days. His disability means that he needs you to explain what is happening throughout the day. Things like where you are going, what’s happening next and be a physical guide as he has low vision. You also need to be calm and patient allowing him time to process his thoughts. He loves being busy and being out and about so if you feel the same then great, and if you love to make someone's day and are a keen supporter, then get in touch. A full driver's licence is required to go on some awesome adventures.

Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
