We want to say a huge thank you to the incredible OneSight team who have recently spent time at five Salvation Army centres around the country providing free eye tests and glasses to Kiwis who are unable to afford them.

624 people were seen over five days with nearly 70% needing glasses. Amazingly, 150 people attending the clinics were are able to leave with their new glasses which were manufactured on site!

OneSight Programme Manager for Australia/New Zealand Jenny Harnett says it was an honour to partner with The Salvation Army to deliver these clinics to communities in need. “We believe that glasses unlock potential, providing opportunities for students to learn, for people to work and earn a living, to drive, to read, and to support their families."

Thanks again OneSight!

From zero to ice cream hero in eight months

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

On paper, it sounds easy: make small-batch, boutique ice cream by hand using natural, local ingredients.

But when you're not a chef, have zero idea how to make ice cream and even less money, it could be foolhardy to try.

On paper, it sounds easy: make small-batch, boutique ice cream by hand using natural, local ingredients.

But when you're not a chef, have zero idea how to make ice cream and even less money, it could be foolhardy to try.

Fortunately, Olive Tabor didn't let such minor details stand in her way and almost two years after starting Patti's & Cream in Dunedin, she regularly sells 100-plus litres of ice cream in a few hours.

Waves is an 8-week programme that aims to support adults (18+ years old) who have been bereaved by suicide for at least six months.

The programme combines learning about suicide and bereavement with group discussion and support.  The group is facilitated by trained facilitators and supports members to:
● Meet and share with others who are also experiencing the impact of suicide
● Provide a safe, supportive environment to explore aspects of their grief and reduce isolation and stigma associated with bereavement by suicide
● Gain information and strategies about how to care for themselves and others (including children and young people) after a suicide
● Adjust to living with loss and moving forward

Next scheduled programme in Invercargill:
Wednesday 16 October 2019 to Wednesday 4 December 2019
7pm - 9pm
To register contact Able Invercargill
Phone: 03 218 2100

There's a long history behind the grand, double-storey home on Dunedin's Dundas St.

Known colloquially as "The Manor", the 114-year-old, five-bedroom flat has been a home to many University of Otago students - and parties - over the years.

On the weekend, a house party attracted hundreds of students who were eager to celebrate one final time before the university took over the property's lease.

But the night ended in tragedy when Sophia Crestani, 19, died after suffering injuries during a mass pile-up of people in house's stairwell. Our thoughts are with Sophia's friends and family following this terrible tragedy.

But the one thing that hasn't changed is the undeniable impact alcohol has on the culture of the community.
