ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

Katy from Linwood

Would anyone like this bag of Bell loose leaf tea, about 170g. I bought it to reduce our packaging waste but I'm not a fan of the flavour. Free to anyone that would use it, shame for it to go to waste.

Hi if you are a builder or have rebuilt either privately or had your insurance co organise it since the earthquakes I'd really appreciate your feedback on how long it took or takes for
A: your house to be rebuilt and
B: If you had to get your foundations dewatered in the process and how long this took
C: What the average time for foundations to be laid and "set" before continuing to build is

If your foundations were type 2A AND/OR dewatered even better but any responses will be very helpful

Thanks
