Colour The World Orange
My name is Jo Edwards, I am chairperson of Kiwi CRPS Charitable Trust, which is a New Zealand registered Charity.
Currently we actively support about 400 members and their families who are affected by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a rare and extremely debilitating neurological chronic pain condition.
The Trust provides support and advocacy via social media and runs regional groups across New Zealand. Kiwi CRPS Charitable Trust has helped raise awareness of CRPS over the past few years amongst medical professionals and support services by working as a group, helping members access information, advocacy, and communication tools. You can find more information here www.kiwicrps.co.nz...
November 7th 2022 is designated International ‘Color the World Orange’ CRPS Awareness Day. Orange symbolises CRPS and the burning pain sufferers experience. Every year, CRPS organisations around the world use the opportunity to brighten up the world around them. More information here nationaltoday.com...

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)
.
