Tomorrow is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 💜

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Did you know about 1 in 6 of our kaumātua will experience abuse at some point with over 75% of abuses occurring at the hands of family or relatives? Let's put our whānau first and end elder abuse once and for all by looking out for our older generations and challenging ageist attitudes.

If you or someone you know is experiencing elder abuse know that it's okay to speak out...

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
