A cancer diagnosis can wreak both an emotional and physical trauma, not only on the patient but also on their whānau and friends.

Record numbers of New Zealanders being diagnosed with cancer combined with an increase in service costs has led to The Cancer Society issuing an urgent call for help this Daffodil Day.

The Cancer Society relies on the generous support of the New Zealand public to support their free-of-charge services like accommodation, meals and transport to treatment for those facing cancer.

Please give generously this Daffodil Day, Friday 25 August and Saturday 26 August.

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, healthy home – see if you’re eligible for financial support to insulate and heat yours.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.

Queen German/Common wasps

John from Rototuna

Just killed a big queen buzzing clumsily around the lights in our lounge. Probably over-wintered in the top of a curtain or on the back of a hanging picture indoors. Don't let them get away to build a nest.
