No-one need to be alone on Christmas Day this year! Once again bringing back the Community Spirit to Havelock North/Hastings.
Christmas can be a very stressful time of year, and for those doing it tough, many are unable to provide their family with a special meal on Christmas Day. This year has certainly had its ups and downs, with enormous numbers of people affected by the water crisis leaving many out of pocket.
Age Concern Havelock North and Pure Catering are working together again to provide a Christmas Day Community Lunch free of charge for anyone in need. Last year we helped 120 and this year is shaping up to around 150 people.
We encourage the community to help us make Christmas brighter for those in need by donating to this worthy event. The lunch cannot be a success without the support of our community.
How can you help us?
We would greatly appreciate any donations to assist us in putting this event on. Donations can be made to the below bank account, through the give a little page or by contacting us directly .

Thank you,
Carol and the team .
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Lawn mowing
Hi Everyone
I have availability on my lawn mowing run at the moment, for regular cutting, in the Napier area. My customers include residential and commercial properties and they are happy with the service I provide. Autumn is also a great time to get your lawn sorted, if you need some help. I have also had customers in the past, that were selling their property and needed it tidied and maintained, while on the market.
So if you are interested or need a quote, or know someone that needs help with their lawns? Please contact me.
You can reach me at 027 3731310 or Bradley.mw@gmail.com
Have a great day!
Michael from Blade Lawns.
