Sending Love is about people and communities coming together to make a festive gesture towards another person who may experience loneliness over Christmas. It is one person putting love and thought into a card to pass a smile and a sense of feeling remembered and loved onto another person.
It is not an organization, or a charity; "Sending Love" is a platform and vehicle to enable sending love from one individual to another. It is an avenue to teach communities and children about the power of a simple act of kindness, and the impact this can have on the recipient. It is also about raising awareness in communities across the country of what may be behind closed doors, the sad reality of the loneliness that exists around us all, and that each and every one of us are empowered and have the capacity to be part changing that.
Cards made by children bring a lot of joy to anyone who receives them, there is something very special about them.
The nationwide project started in 2017, we received 32,000 cards within 5-weeks to distribute to rest homes and some RSA's, Meals on Wheels, hospital wards, Women's Refuge etc.
Due to Covid it is uncertain if "Sending Love" will continue collecting cards in other areas, but I am happy to continue to do so at a local level.
Last year I collected 968 cards from our local community.
That's 968 smiles
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible. Lets see if we can reach 1000 this year!!!
I will advise collection points at a later date.
Feel free to contact me on 0273269434 or tyddahunt@xtra.co.nz
Thanks in advance

I've been in Carterton for over 25 years and I remember the Council (or the nearby farmers, not sure who) would mow the grass down Rutland Road from end to end. Now since 5 years ago or so, they stopped doing it so I would walk the dog in knee high wet grass.

Now since 5 years ago or so, they stopped doing it so I would walk the dog in knee high wet grass. We asked many times why they wouldn't do it and they said they "never did it in the first place". Now we finally got an answer: they won't mow in a 100kph zone. Ummm there's not many cars down there and most go up to 80 anyway. I'm just so tempted to voluntarily mow it at this stage but I will need a weedeater for that length!!

As Lynette, a resident at Edmund Hilary village, says “A lot of people still believe that you're going to a rest home. They don't know the concept of a retirement village. You go there, it's beautiful. You've got facilities. You've got activities. And you don't stop living.”
Retirement is a chapter of life that’s filled with possibility. Choose the lifestyle you want to live and proudly embrace every opportunity. It’s what Ryman residents do.

The number of people who have had their Covid-19 vaccination continue to grow. Have you had your jab yet?
The Ministry of Health has released the latest statistics for vaccination rates at each district health board, broken down to the suburb, based on percentage of the eligible population.
Within MidCentral, the area with the highest percentage of fully vaccinated people is Linton Camp, with 83.5 per cent of people there having had both doses and 95 per cent having had their first dose. Hokowhitu Central, Poutoa and Ruahine have all had more than 60 per cent of people having had both doses.
At the opposite end of the scale, Shannon (32.6 per cent), Highbury East (33.8 per cent) and Palmerston North Central (35.5 per cent) have had the lowest percentage of people to get both doses.
Te Horo south of Ōtaki has one of the highest rate of Māori who are fully vaccinated with 49.1 per cent and Whakarongo has one of the higher rates of Pasifika people who are fully vaccinated with 81.8 per cent.
My husband is doing a small alteration and need 3 running meters x 2.4 meters. Of building wrap. Does anyone have any he can buy. Doesn’t want a whole roll.
Thanks
