Where has that wonderful thread called "Be a tidy Christmas kiwi" gone?
It was posted by The Team (at Neighbourly) and I'm thinking that they may've meant to close comments but have instead deleted the whole thread.
What an absolute shame as there was some great reading in there… View moreWhere has that wonderful thread called "Be a tidy Christmas kiwi" gone?

What an absolute shame as there was some great reading in there and so many great ideas and hints for this time of year and current situation/s.
So many people contributed to it and it would be nice to read the rest of the comments from who posted after we had gone to bed.
If the powers that be at Neighbourly Notices (as I couldn't find the tag for The Team at Neighbourly) could reinstate it please, that would be absolutely grand.
Thank you in advance😉
It’s hard to put your finger on why Ryman care centres just feel different. Perhaps it’s our constant drive to improve through innovations such as our myRyman Care app and Delicious menu, or perhaps it’s the genuine warmth of the care we provide.

Our 'Experience the Care Difference’ guide paints a picture of the care, kindness and comfort that our residents experience every day. It offers a comprehensive guide to rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care, as well as our serviced apartment options. So, for the inside knowledge into what makes a Ryman care centre different, check out our guide.

The Kindness Collective Foundation is bringing Christmas cheer to 250 vulnerable children at these facilities run by the Taonga Education Centre:
Nga Taonga Aroha Early childhood centre in Otara, Aranga Early Childhood centre in Manurewa, Homai Nga Taonga ECC, Manurewa, Nga Taonga Manako ECC, Kelston, Eden Campus ECC, Mt Eden, Kakano Early Childhood Centre in Clendon and Potiki Early Childhood Centre in Clendon.
The Auckland charity has paid for Christmas parties, trees and decorations for each childcare and is buying Christmas presents for the youngsters.
But the giving doesn't stop there.
The charity is donating 80 food boxes and grocery vouchers to childcare families to tide them over during the expensive festive season.
"The Kindness Collective Foundation heard about the hard work we do at our centre to keep our whanau going and they reached out to me to offer their help," said Emma-Jane Jones, centre supervisor of Nga Taonga Aroha Early childhood centre in Otara.
Jones said 2020 had been a tough year financially and she was "blown away" by such a giving gesture.
"At my centre in Otara, I don't have any parents that pay fees so we're always a little bit strapped for cash... and for them to jump on board has been phenomenal."
Jones said she believed in giving preschoolers wrap- around care which extended to their whanau.
"We make sure the children always have clothing, rain jackets and food and that's often coming out of our teachers' pockets."
Jones said that if the charity had not stepped in, she would have had to pay for her centre's Christmas party, which kicks off on Thursday.
"I have four children of my own and my children have learned from a young age that they're privileged in some ways and quite often my children get less so I can support the children in my care," she said.

The masks feature in 42 machines at bus and rail stations along with ferry wharves.
Auckland Mayor Phil Goff has praised the initiative.
“The more simple and convenient we can make it to wear a mask, the greater the uptake will be," he said.
“This will mean passengers who may have lost or forgotten their mask can get one quickly and easily and avoid missing their journey."
AT has bought 1500 masks to go into into the machines.
Aucklanders can buy a pack of four masks for $9.
What do you think of the initiative?

Hi neighbours,

Aucklanders will see their rates bills soar 5 per cent to help counteract a $1 billion fall in council revenue over the next four years.
The one-off hike, up from a planned 3.5 per cent increase, will add $36 to the rates bill of an average value home before annual increases return to the previous path of 3.5 per cent rises.
The proposed increase is included in the update of Auckland Council's 10-year budget, which starts in July.
