Christmas Blessings and Farewell for now
Hi Neighbours
The Crosslight Trust is moving out of the "home" we have occupied for nearly 30 years. We are very sad to be leaving but we don't have the choice. Crosslight is going into recess for at least a year or two.
We feel so very blessed to have had the privilege of being available to thousands of people over the years and thank all those of you who have either been volunteers, customers, donors, members of our groups and programmes, supporters and those who have come in for food parcel assistance or other help. For food parcel enquiries please contact the Vinnies 07 847 4044 who are the next closest for people living in the Dinsdale/Nawton/Crawshaw areas.
From all of us at Crosslight we wish you blessings for a very happy, safe, healthy, and relaxing Christmas and holiday time.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
