Did you know that living in a cold house in winter can affect your health?
If house temperatures fall below 16°C, the risk of respiratory illness increases. This is because cold houses are also usually damp, which can lead to respiratory symptoms.
One of the simplest steps toward a warm home is to stop draughts and keep the heat inside your home.
If you want to learn how to minimize the risks or how to identify draughts on your windows and doors, read our blog post or give us a call on 0800 25 25 00

Hello Takaro neighbours,

It's citrus season and as I walk around the neighbourhood, I admire many mandarin, lemon, grapefruit and lime trees...heavy with beautiful fruit.
If you have excess fruit and are interested in sharing your abundance (and preventing the fruit going to waste), I'm affiliated with Community Fruit Harvest Manawatū - a harvest capture/distribution group, run by volunteers, who work to get excess produce to people who need it - you can drop bagged or boxed excess fruit (or vegetables!) to my driveway doorstep and I'll get it to where our coordinator, Debra, tells me it is most needed on the day.
If you'd like to drop bags/boxes of fruit in to me for distribution, please message me for my address. (It's a central, Takaro address.)
Or another service CFHM offers is that if you are too busy/not able to pick the fruit on your trees yourself, we can organise for volunteer/s to come and pick it for you, leaving some for you and taking your excess away for distribution. If this option suits you better, email Debra, our central coordinator to request a visit from a volunteer picker.
email: pickfruit@slingshot.co.nz
*
So, where does your fruit end up?
It varies, but includes Just Zilch, local food banks, lunches-in-schools programmes like Eat Up NZ, and sharing tables at local libraries, etc.
If you're interested in becoming a Community Fruit Harvest volunteer - you can email Debra at the above email address about that, too.
Let's work together to get the generous abundance of local fruit trees out to local tummies.
& You can find Community Fruit Harvest Manawatū on FB here: www.facebook.com...
Thanks so much!

My name's Leola and I've been a volunteer with Samaritans Manawatū for three years now. For those of you who haven't heard of Samaritans before, we're part of a global organisation who provide listening services to people who are distressed, suicidal, and lonely. Primarily we do this through our 24/7 phone line, and we can do shifts both from our office and from home. The Manawatū branch was first established in the 1970s and remains a vibrant and diverse organisation, with people of multiple ages, cultures, and backgrounds.
We're on the look out for keen new volunteers, who have big hearts and want to make a difference in the world. No specific skills are required, just a willingness to listen and be compassionate to those in need. Training is flexible and we do our best to support volunteers every step of the way. When you join Samaritans, you also join a wonderful family of like-minded people, who care not only for our callers but for each other and our communities.
Want to learn more or even sign up? You can send me a message here, or email me at manawatu@samaritans.org.nz. Look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Leola
