Over one in five Kiwi children face food insecurity, with the situation worse for Māori and Pacific families. Rising unemployment and the cost of living crisis are pushing more people into need, but donations and government support are dwindling.
Despite this, The Salvation Army continues to provide vital services, including food, counselling, and lifestyle programmes. Donations, no matter the size, bring long-term change to families, ensuring joy this Christmas and beyond.

In the last two days I have spoken to Dog Owners as I walk my dog and 4 out of 5 were unaware of the changes. The 4th did not think it affected them until I explained that what she was currently doing, as we spoke, was going to be illegal.
The Base overriding rule will be that Dogs will be on short leads in public place.
6.2.2 On all footpaths, shared paths and formed tracks in parks [new] Dogs must be on a short leash on all footpaths, shared paths and formed tracks in parks where dogs are allowed.
Parks in this sense means any Council-managed greenspace area open to the public, such as parks, reserves and stormwater network assets. This includes stormwater assets that function like parks i.e. greenspace areas with footpaths, shared paths and formed tracks, such as engineered wetlands, drainage reserves and swales.
This does not apply to Bottle Lake Forest Park, which is a dog exercise area. Dogs can be exercised on the tracks through Bottle Lake while off-leash, as long as they are under effective control
If Bottle Lake Forest can be 'Dogs under control' Bikes, Walkers, Dogs?
Please have your say, either way rather than say"Oh I did not realise that was what it meant"

Biosecurity, on these farms where usually intense, and clothing footwear masks, wheel spray at the gate, etc were compulsory.
The sheds/barns were audited for cleanliness and ensure pest control measures were in place. Perfect.
One day, along came FREE RANGE chicken. If you are thinking how do we keep the same biosecurity control over chickens that run in and out of the sheds/barns and can bring in all the bugs that overalls, masks and boots were stopping? If you weren't thinking that, let's take Avian Flu as the obvious example of why perhaps you should.
On any one farm, some sheds might be free-range while the others only metres away, still had to follow the original biosecurity procedures, as they were shed/barn raised.
I aired my concern and was told, it was best not to push it too hard. TUT TUT
If people want to eat FREE RANGE chicken, there is a risk that the whole poultry industry might suffer.

Instead of giving individual gifts to residents, the idea was to redirect those funds to support struggling New Zealand families having to cut back on essentials.
Ryman residents were overwhelmingly in support of the idea, with many volunteering to help choose the gifts to fill over 1000 shoeboxes with thoughtful items.
