Volunteers Desperately Needed for Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Appeal

Susie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Hi there I am the Hastings Area Coordinator for the Pink Ribbon Appeal and this year (possibly because it falls in the school holidays) we are desperately short of collectors for Hastings - so far we have only 95 and we need a further 79 - I understand Havelock North has plenty!

Hi there I am the Hastings Area Coordinator for the Pink Ribbon Appeal and this year (possibly because it falls in the school holidays) we are desperately short of collectors for Hastings - so far we have only 95 and we need a further 79 - I understand Havelock North has plenty!

If you are home for the school holidays (as a parent or grand-parent) how about bringing your cherubs along for two hours. Imagine the confidence they will gain from helping their parents / grandparents make time to help others.

To those of you who have yet to decide (or have decided but not yet signed up) it would be wonderful if you could sign up soon. I also encourage you all to talk to neighbours, friends, family and get them on board too. You can sign up several ways: on-line or by phone: • If you are already registered, go to www.pinkribbonvolunteer.co.nz... and log in and then sign up for the times and locations you prefer • If you are a new volunteer, still go to www.pinkribbonvolunteer.co.nz... however you will need to register and then sign up for the times and locations you prefer • If you prefer you could also call the free line 0508 105 105 and someone in National Office will help you register, or • You could email them on pinkribbon@bcf.org.nz Of course, if you need any advice / assistance at any time, I am happy to help: • Email – susiemcc@xtra.co.nz In the last three years we have increased our take by 23% - wouldn’t it be fantastic if, this year , we could make it 30% for the Hastings area!

Poll: Should New Zealand take in 1500 refugees? Is it enough?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The annual refugee quota will lift from 1000 to 1500 by July 2020, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced this week. Before 2016 the refugee quota sat static at 750 for 30 years, well behind many other western nations. The National Government then raised it to 1000. Is it enough?

EXPERIENCED care giver / retired nurse, or past enrolled nurse needed.

We are looking for the ideal woman to help with personal care for our bedridden Mum/nana.

We are looking for the ideal woman to help with personal care for our bedridden Mum/nana.

She is one hundred and one years old.
Yes that's right.

As Nana is now in the position of needing hospital care in the form of support by trained palliative carers, we are currently managing this with the help of a company and various shifts instead of the hospital care option in an aged facility as she would like to end her days at home.

Unfortunately there is gaps in the staff roll, and we need to fill these to retain continuity and keep her comfortable.

Shifts available are 2pm - 9pm daily, and some changes in shifts for morning and night care as the carer givers we have are not able to do too many days in one stretch legally either.

Please don't reply to this post UNLESS you are confident, and competent, in ALL ASPECTS of personal care at NZQA Level 3 or above.

We need to know you can show us references with experience from previous employed positions, as well as being able to fill the shifts we offer without risk of causing your own health problems, or having other interference from family or work commitments which may mean you will be unable to complete your shift.

This is a well paid position, and we look forward to hearing from anyone with the qualifications mentioned.
Alternatively if you know someone who call fill the spot that you pass on the post.

PLEASE PRIVATE MESSAGE ME YOUR REPLIES - DO NOT REPLY TO THE PUBLIC PAGE POST

many thanks
Zara

Storms that swept through Hawke's Bay last week have left road crews with ongoing clearance work on three major highways. Repair and removal crews are clearing slips across SH2 between Napier and Wairoa at several sites between Raupunga and Tangoio.

They are also clearing a section of the highway affected by a dropout in the Sandy Creek area near Tutira. Temporary speed restrictions and stop-go signalling is in place at the slip sites while a temporary traffic light system has been installed around the dropout zone. Motorists can expect some delays.

On SH5 between Napier and Taupo slip work is being carried out at sites between Eskdale and Tangoio and temporary speed restrictions are in place, with similar restrictions along parts of SH38 between Frasertown and Waikaremoana, which was also hit hard by slips.

At the Glencoe Gorge on SH50 there was a dropout and a temporary give way control is in place, although travel delays would be only slight.

Contractors are also carrying out seal-widening projects on the northern stretch of SH2 around Kotemaori and between Te Hauke and Te Aute on the southern stretch of SH2, and there will be occasional delays due to stop-go signalling and speed restrictions.
