Red Cross Journey 2019

The Team from Red Cross - Hastings Service Centre

New Zealand Red Cross is excited to announce that registrations are now open for Red Cross Journey 2019.

Red Cross Journey is a step a challenge. The idea is you walk 10,000 steps a day, either as an individual or a team whilst raising vital funds for people in need. As you walk you will receive updates on the real journey of a Red Cross delegate or former refugee family who have resettled in New Zealand to motivate you along the way. All you need to get started is a pedometer or phone/watch that tracks your daily steps.

Red Cross Journey is a national event but here in Hawke's Bay we have a couple of exciting events planned, keep your eyes peeled for more information.

* Can’t be involved in the event but want to help spread the word please feel free to share this information far and wide, the more the merrier!

* Are you a business and want to sponsor a prize for one of our events or challenges? Please contact amber.mcarthur@redcross.org.nz to talk more.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
