Police Give Football Boots to Children in Need

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

The long arm of the law has given football boots to more than 70 deserving children.

The boots were handed out at the Kiwi Tag National Club Challenge at Cornwall Park during the weekend, before Auckland went into a snap lockdown.

This marks the second year of the Auckland Boot Bin Project, an initiative where police from around Tamaki Makaurau donate and clean football boots.

Police say they were thrilled to be able to put smiles on the children's faces.

UoA Hayfever Study - Participants Needed

Sethmi from Royal Oak

Kia ora everyone,

My name is Sethmi, and I am a student at the University of Auckland. I am conducting a study under the guidance of the Ear Nose and Throat team at the university. We are looking to see the benefit of a nasal spray adaptor in improving symptoms of allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hayfever, compared to a standard nasal spray. This study involves using 2 different nasal spray devices, and online questionnaires. This study does not require any in-person appointments.

Please see the attached flyer for more information and eligibility criteria. In addition to this, please not that you are not eligible if you currently experience asthma and/or take asthma medication.

If you are interested in participating, please email me at sran718@aucklanduni.ac.nz for more information.

Thank you for your interest in our study, I look forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,
Sethmi
