That time of the year again.. Yes its our Next Steps Lifetstyle Expo!
Once again we're really excited to be hosting what has become the largest Expo in Hawkes Bay for seniors, families and carers. We've got some fantastic exhibitors this year including the launch of the monitored smart watch that is the emergency response device.
This year we've incorporated arthritis workshops as part of the day along with other presentations.
Please pass this info onto anyone that could benefit..... AND its all free, free entry, free refreshments (the best scones around) and free entertainment. All agencies under the one roof so come along and enjoy.
The workshops and presentation information is in this weeks Hastings Mail but I will also be posting the details on Neighbourly
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)
.
