Heartbeats Presentation on Exercise and Cardiac Rehabiliation

Trent Lash from Heartbeats

Heartbeats is hosting a presentation by Matthew Wood, M.Sc. (Exercise Physiology) from AUT Millennium Centre on exercise-based cardiac and wellbeing rehabilitation after a heart event.
Heart attack and heart disease affects 1:3 people (31%).
Its tough to 'get back on the horse' and not feel that you own body could kill you at any time.
You feel you have lost control of your living and you are alone.
WRONG on both counts.
A clinically-led exercise programme coupled with a reasonable heart healthy diet and some emotional support, will give you back a long and fulfilling life.
WHERE: Hibiscus Coast Community House (behind Estuary Arts Centre) 214 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa.
WHEN: 10:00am - 11:00am on TUESDAY, 7th May.
It's FREE. All heart event survivors and those facing heart surgery of any kind, are very WELCOME. Bring along your spouse, partner and family.
For more information: Call Trent on 0220 606 199

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
