The daily upheavals caused by the virus is creating anxiety, exacerbated by the fact there is no “template” for dealing with uncertainty.
The best way to cope with COVID-19 blues is to build resilience, instead of looking for reassurance.
Our FREE "Dance Yourself Happy" work-out-sessions, is one of these ways!
Once we're out of Level restrictions, why not come along and give it a try. There's no instructor! You'll just dance freestyle for one hour in the dark, to a mix of uplifting tunes from the 70s-to-now.
Can't dance? Not a problem! Any kind of movement and having fun will help.
Keep checking this page for the date we will resume.

Hi Neighbours! anyone interested to have their car fully wrapped in gloss white color? please message me I can recommend you to my friend who is really good in doing car wrapping who charge really cheap.

I am suppose to have my car wrapped in white to use for my business. My friend already ordered materials for me. But then my franchise company told me that they wont accept vinyl covered cars. We cannot return the vinyls back. Just wondering if anyone wants to have their car colored in white instead. So we can use the ordered materials than having it stored for no use. We can talk and negotiate a good deal with it. I just want to convert it to cash.

Message me at 0223219396 if anyone interested Thanks would appreciate any help 😊

DIY FACE MASK FOR HAIRCUTS

Carissa from Papatoetoe

Here's a hack to get you through your next hair cut, keeping you and your hairdressers safe. Wash your hands first and/or sanitise - then cut the ear loops off your surgical mask (or your home made mask). Stick some Fashion Tape along the sides and you're good to go. Fashion Tape is a … View moreHere's a hack to get you through your next hair cut, keeping you and your hairdressers safe. Wash your hands first and/or sanitise - then cut the ear loops off your surgical mask (or your home made mask). Stick some Fashion Tape along the sides and you're good to go. Fashion Tape is a double-sided sticky tape used for adhering fabric to skin. It holds gaping necklines in place (celebrities use it). This can be purchased at places like Spotlight, Chemist Warehouse, Farmers, KMart etc. I have seen some stick-on see through masks online made in Japan which allows the hairdresser to see your face/features, but this simple idea will keep you protected. Stay safe everyone.

A south Auckland foodbank has seen calls for food parcels triple during the latest lockdown.

Manukau Urban Māori Authority supports Māori living in urban environments, and runs a foodbank at the Ngā Whare Waatea Marae at Calthorp Close in Favona.

Spokesperson Sarah Sparks said staff at its base were dealing with a surge in requests in south Auckland.

“We’ve had triple the number of phone calls to our 0800 number for the foodbank since we went into alert level 3,” she said.

“On average we have an allocation of 40 food parcels a day. But last week that was increased to 70 a day and we were still really stretched.”

A University of Auckland study found Māori and Pacific communities in areas such as south Auckland would be at greater risk from a second wave of Covid-19.

Do you think the government needs to do more to support vulnerable communities during the Covid-19 pandemic?

Dear neighbours,

Nominations for our 2020 Ryman Healthcare Gardener of the Year ends on Monday, August 31. So don't forget to let us know all about the green thumbs doing heroic work for their community.

Do you know someone sharing the veggies they've grown with their neighbours? Perhaps locals restoring a park in the area to bring back birds, or a group of neighbours doing a great job in their community garden. Nominate them today, and tell us why they deserve to be this year's Ryman Healthcare Gardener of the Year.
