Help us to get our message heard
Did you know that Hastings Hearing offers a FREE EDUCATION PROGRAM on the prevention of Noise Induced Hearing Loss?
Many people in our community are not aware that noise induced hearing loss is 100% preventable! Help us to get this message heard.
We provide fun, interactive FREE presentations to pre-schools, schools, educators and community groups. By equipping children with the knowledge they need to protect their hearing we are providing a form of early intervention which will hopefully lead to a reduction of this type of hearing loss in our community. We want more people to appreciate a life with sound.
Phone to book a free presentation or you can support our registered charity by becoming a member or kindly giving a donation.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
