Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Stray male cat

John from Sandringham

Over the last two weeks a rangy male tabby cat has been pleading for food at our place in Royal Terrace, Sandringham.
Or is there a colony of cats being fed around here.
If you have lost him please call 021996559

Note that we took him to the vet today the 6th of January and he belongs to someone in our area.

We will now just enjoy a pat on his daily visits but not feed him.
