Programme update
After the Government’s announcement that Vaccine Passes and mandates within certain areas of business can be dropped, Northgate Community Services Trust assessed the programmes that these affected.
We have concluded that the Foot Clinic clients and volunteers are at no greater risk of contracting or spreading Covid-19 at the clinic than out in the community, therefore have dropped the Vaccine Pass and mandate for Close Contact Workers. Our volunteers will still be required to wear a face mask or display their exemption. We will also continue to distance our clinic chairs and have the room well ventilated.
Kia Ora Community Meals will be restarting up on the 4th of May, and we will be able to gather and sit indoors again for a meal. We still are encouraging mask-wearing while people aren’t seated for eating and spacing between tables and good ventilation will also continue.
Unfortunately, we do not currently have anyone to do the hairdressing that we used to offer.
Our old Feel Good Friday programmes have ceased, but we hope to start up something new for our seniors again very soon.
Zion is able to have their end of term concerts with a greater capacity limit and welcome all members of the public back to classes and concerts.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
