Youth & Search Rescue Trust - Tauranga
14 to 18 year old students from the whole Bay of Plenty are trained in volunteering and helping rescue people. They learn First Aid, searching in urban and back country situations, water safety, leadership and many more amazing life changing subjects. This organisation receives no government funding and relies on grants and donations to train these amazing young people. VOTE NOW!

Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!

Healthy eating should be easy. Eat plenty of fruit and veges, strike the right mix of protein and carbs, cut back on the booze and sugar and she'll be right - right?

But ... unless you have iron willpower, temptation is tough to resist.

But ... how we process food is complex and not fully understood, and diet advice can be conflicting and confusing.

But ... food isn't just nutrition - it is social life, it is comfort, it is pleasure.

Healthy eating is deceptively complex.

Stuff.co.nz has launched Food for Thought. A series of stories which ask if the Kiwi diet is broken and what we can do to fix it. The articles are great to read, and full of nifty interactive graphics.

The Stuff "Food = Energy" calculator takes the kilojoules of everyday food and drink and, with each click of the pink "burn buttons", shows you what it takes to burn that energy off.
