Raahui Pookeka Community Heroes 2024

Victoria Kemp from Friendship House (Huntly) Community Charitable Trust

'30 days of Raahui Pookeka Community Heroes 2024'

Each day during November we will celebrate and acknowledge 1 of 30 local Raahui Pookeka heroes.

We have many amazing people in our community giving their time to help others and creating a wonderful community to live in, from helping neighbours, volunteering for community organisations, sports clubs and much more. This is a way to show our appreciation.

We need your help to identify and nominate local heroes within the groups you work with.

Nominations are open for local heroes nominations with the closing date 11th October.

Each day in November we will profile a local person identified through the nomination process as a community hero.

Nominations can be made via a google form (please copy and paste below link) or paper copies are available at Friendship House, Huntly West Hub and St John Op Shop.

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?
