Hey neighbours, there are few Kiwis who haven't experienced cold or damp housing at some point in New Zealand, whatever part of the country you call home. So what's being done to change that for future generations?

Here's how a passive revolution and building code changes could help our health - and the climate.
This National Volunteer Week, we’re recognising all the amazing volunteers who form the backbone of emergency response in Aotearoa and support their communites every day.

THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!
When Aotearoa faces challenging times, Kiwis always step up to support people in need. Volunteers are instrumental in ensuring that we get through, together.
“Every day, a network of 11,000 Red Cross volunteers and members across the country help us respond to disasters, settle new Kiwis, help run our shops, deliver Meals on Wheels, teach former refugees how to drive, sew curtains for families in need, and so much more. Last financial year, Red Cross volunteers gave close to 120,000 hours of their time. They are the hands and feet of almost everything we accomplish,” says Niamh Lawless, our Secretary General.

Over 80% of Fire and Emergency is made up of volunteers. Without them and their support crew, we wouldn’t be who we are today.
So this National Volunteer Week, we’re thanking more than 11,500 of our volunteers for missing precious moments in their lives to protect our communities.

We have great contacts with lots of domestic travel suppliers, and can put together fantastic package deals for you with flights, accommodation, car hire, tours & activities.
We are your 'one stop shop', and can offer you some great deals on discovering our own beautiful New Zealand, with the specialist suppliers that we contract.
For domestic NZ travel, there can be a tendency for some people to just ‘jump online’ and think that’s its ok to book it themselves as its ‘just’ domestic, but remember that by doing it this way - the commission goes directly offshore with overseas owned online booking tools.
When you book through a local Travel Agent or Broker, you are keeping the commission here in your community. The price is usually the same plus you will get the extra bonus of a friendly & professional personal service.

Hey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.
The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. … View moreHey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.
The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. But what do you do? And who knew folding towels could be so controversial?
