Father Christmas might not make it to Petone, as coronavirus threatens to claim another victim.
The Jackson Street Programme organises a range of Christmas events for children from throughout the region but this year it is facing a big funding shortfall.
JSP co-ordinator Hellen Swales said although retailing has bounced back since the lockdown, money is still tight, and the group needs to raise $30,000.
Swales is aware many families are struggling, and said it would be a shame if the free public events organised by the JSP did not happen.
The Petone Twilight Christmas Parade is scheduled for Friday, November 27, starting at 7pm.

Falls prevention

There’s a new exercise class in town! Yes, another one… but this one is special: it’s a falls prevention exercise class for seniors, and it only costs a gold coin.

Yes, another one… but this one is special: it’s a falls prevention exercise class for seniors, and it only costs a gold coin. Age Concern Wellington’s Ann Dalziel has started three new weekly classes in Lower Hutt (Knox Church), Khandallah (St Barnabas Church), and Churton Park (community centre). Age Concern Wellington now has 25 Steady as You Go exercise classes running each week around the Wellington Region. From Upper Hutt to Island Bay and over to Whitby, there’s a class near you.

“My balance has improved so much,” says one class participant, “and I’ve made many new friends here.”

These classes are designed to improve strength and balance and help prevent a fall. Steady as You Go classes improve balance and leg strength, flexibility, general fitness, and wellbeing. But most importantly perhaps, these classes are a great way to meet new people.

Classes consist of a combination of sitting, standing and walking exercises, and take around an hour. Call 04 499 6648 or visit www.ageconcernwellington.org.nz... for more information.

Falls are not a natural part of ageing!
