Gathering together during the holidays can lead us to notice changes in our loved ones and their needs, especially if there has been some time between visits.

Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.

To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.

Looking for a real authentic Tempeh? Check ours out:
Here at Sri’s Foods, we carefully and patiently craft tempeh in a traditional way, in small batches, and we’ve been told by many that our tempeh is just how tempeh should be….
Said to have originated in Indonesia (just like Sri did!), tempeh made there usually presents with a pleasing texture, taste, and appearance.

We have learnt the craft from experts there and now we make it here in NZ and to the tight Food Safety requirements of a MPI registered Food Control Plan. Check ours out – Sri’s Tempeh – we think you will be impressed.

Do you have old computers past their used by date?

You can turf them at e-waste drop off points around Auckland.

More than 30 e-waste drop off days will be run around the city by Auckland based Computer Recycling.

Dubbed the "CR E-days", these will give members of the community a chance to avoid dumping their e-waste in landfills.

Community centres across the city have volunteered their spaces for the events.

Donations will be collected at the events to raise funds for the children's charity Variety.

All donations made during the CR E-days will be matched by Computer Recycling.

The company last year collected more than 18000 kg of discarded electronic waste which would have ended up in landfills.

More than 400 households dropped off their unwanted electronics during the three CR E-Days.

Computer Recycling director Patrick Moynahan said he hoped to collect and divert from landfill more than 300,000 kilograms of e-waste this year.

“There is no New Zealand-based framework or legislation as to how Kiwis dispose of their unwanted e-waste," he said, " but so far it has been really encouraging to see how much people are looking to do the right thing when it comes to disposing of their old tech.”

All e-waste collected from the events is brought back to the company's site in Onehunga where it is sorted for re-use or recycling.

The first four events of 2021 will be held on:

January 30 at First Presbyterian Church Papakura, February 6 at Green Bay High school, February 27 at Mt Albert Baptist Church, March 6 at Massey University East Precinct Albert Expressway in Albany.

Hi Auckland,

What should Auckland Council prioritise this year?

Auckland Council plans to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and is set to be one of the biggest challenges that is facing council leaders in 2021.

The Auckland Climate Plan is set to be released to the public for consultation in February, with Councillors already opting for the smaller of the two climate budget proposals.

Water management, both water access and waste water systems are also set to come under review, with Watercare scaling back many projects, which may end up postponing completion by a number of years.
