Breast Cancer affects so many of us in so many ways - could you please lend a hand?

Susie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Hi there Hawke's Bay people - the Pink Ribbon weekend collecting for breast cancer support is coming up - Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November at New World Hastings. Two wonderful people responded to this message; could more of you possibly help by giving two hours? Currently we have slots available as follows:

On Friday 13 November - one slot at 8-10am, one slot at -10-12, one slot at 2-4 and four slots at 4-6pm.
On Saturday 14 November - four slots at 8-10am, two slots at 2-4pm, and two slots at 4-6pm.

If you can help please comment below or PM me and I will contact you.

Also, please ask your friends and family to lend a helping hand – men are more than welcome – remember – men can get breast cancer too! And you can bring your dog and / or your children / grandchildren.

I look forward to working with you – in the pink: a scarf, a skirt, earrings, a whimsy, a wig, a t-shirt/jacket/jumper, pink feather boa, pink bowler hat – some / any / all of those!

Regards
Susie McCutcheon
Pink Ribbon Appeal Co-ordinator for Hastings

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
