Housing justice - free public talk
Join us to hear Brook Turner talk about housing justice in Auckland and New Zealand Aotearoa. Thursday 18 May, 6.00 p.m.
172 Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead.
The housing crisis has reached catastrophic levels in recent times and been exacerbated by the effects of Covid19, the cost of living, recent weather events, and the looming recession. Yet, there remains hope that if Kiwis can band together, justice, equity and a chance at a fair go are still within reach. In this talk Brook will speak to the sobering realities many people face who are experiencing homelessness while pointing to hopeful threads of innovation that could help Auckland and NZ return to our egalitarian roots.
Brook is an executive leader with entrepreneurial flair and insightful perspectives on social change. Brook’s values are based on his strong training in empowerment-based practice and uphold the mana and dignity of every individual while working to create strengths-based solutions to wicked problems. As a leader, Brook’s philosophy is to grow people first and collaborate to achieve collective impact where it doesn’t matter who receives the credit. Brook is a Kiwibank Local Hero recipient, a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow, and an alumni member of Leadership New Zealand. His influence and impact spans from developing solutions to homelessness to working on the issue of food sovereignty. Brook’s charismatic and common-sense approach means his work is always exhilarating and thought provoking.
Brook recently submitted his thesis for his master’s degree in applied Practice (Social Practice). Titled ‘Self-determined Housing Choices for Young People Leaving the Care System,’ the thesis investigates the issue of homelessness amongst rangatahi while examining possible answers to what is a serious issue in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Have You Had Your Annual Diabetes Review Yet?
If you live with diabetes, your annual diabetes review with our Registered Nurse is one of the most important appointments of the year.
This check-up isn’t just a routine visit it’s a proactive way to protect your health and prevent complications.
During your annual review, our RN will:
✔️ Check your HbA1c and blood sugar control

✔️ Arrange blood tests if needed
✔️ Check your feet (early detection prevents serious problems)
✔️ Review your medications
✔️ Support healthy lifestyle goals
✔️ Answer any questions or concerns
Diabetes can affect many parts of the body including your heart, kidneys, eyes, and feet. Regular reviews help us pick up small changes early, before they become bigger issues.
