Helping Hand for the Elderly and/or Infirm

Glenn from Paraparaumu

Good morning Neighbours, my name is Glenn McIsaac. In these uncertain times we find ourselves in of late, some maybe wondering how to cope with running errands and how to source everyday items too.
If you need anything done away from home and are unable to leave or you need something picked up, or whatever, then PLEASE PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me on; 021 023-12550 and together we will sort out a solution. There will of course be no charge for this help, unless you’re in a position to give any food or product which will be handed over to the Kapiti Food Bank.
Thank you neighbours 🥰 and I mean it, please do not hesitate to contact me! I am free all weekend (now!) and after 4 generally during the week.
Otherwise good luck everyone and please let’s all keep an eye out for our elderly, infirm and housebound neighbours during these times ❤️

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
