Local Hero!
Today we visited our first Local Heroes' winner, Dani. 👏
Dani works with It Takes A Village Hub Canterbury , an amazing charity that provides free Baby and Toddler bundles to families that need a little extra help. As part of our Local Heroes' competition, Dani won $500 and today, The Breeze and Ray White BS donated items to go towards their baby bundles.
ITAV rely on donations to build these bundles. If you would like to help them out, check out their website here: www.itav.org.nz...
Thank you Dani for everything you do for the Canterbury community, you truly are a hero! 💛

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
