Wanted- Women's, Mens, Kids, Magazines

Vicki from Papanui

Registered charity NZ Gifts of Love and Strength provide care packages for victims of trauma.

Most have PTSD which means they have a short concentration span.

In our care packages we love to put a couple of magazines in for them to flick through to take their minds off things for a break.

If you have any of the following magazines still in excellent condition without any puzzles completed etc could you please get in contact with us either on our Facebook page or text Lynette 0274 682 154 or Vicki 0274 388149. Thank you:

Magazines we are in need of are:

Mind food, Good, Wellbeing
Breathe (teen and adult)
Woman and W2Woman
Nadia, Taste
Home and Garden /Your home and Garden
NZ Life and Leisure , Thrive
M2, Mens Health, The Shed
National Geographic for kids
Total Girl, Poppy
Kzone, Upstart, Wacky

We also are looking out for adult colouring in books, puzzle books like word find, crosswords etc.

We thank you for your generosity and kindness in helping creating smiles through the tears.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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 β€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
