The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”

Kapiti’s diverse demographic, with its high percentage of elderly, low/fixed incomes, chronic health conditions/high health service users and young families includes a large number reliant on some sort of government support. This number is expected to grow as the economic impacts of COVID 19 are felt throughout the community. Many find navigating the WINZ process challenging and accessing the supportive, empathetic knowledgeable guidance provided by Kapiti BEST advocates can help ease what is often an already stressful time.
For further information or to make an appointment please call CABK Offices on 04 298 4944 or call in to our office on the first floor, Coastlands, between 9.00am and 4.00pm Monday - Friday.

A duo of fine singers, soprano Maaike Christie-Beekman and baritone Robert Tucker are accompanied by pianist David Barnard in this unusual and different presentation of a song cycle drawn from many different writers. Mary Gow, organiser of the Mulled Wine Concerts, now in its fourteenth season in Paekakariki acknowledges that this format represents a new departure for the series.
"We usually present classical chamber music", she says, "with the occasional concert in a lighter vein, like our last concert featuring the Rodger Fox Jazz Combo. But our audiences have come to expect something adventurous, something that expands their musical horizons and so we have decided to showcase these very talented singers who have put together a delightful programme which is just right for a winter Sunday".
Maaike Christie-Beekman studied in the Netherlands and in France. She holds a master's degree in vocal performance and has sung opera, oratorio and chamber music throughout Europe. On moving to New Zealand, she was a Resident Artist for the New Zealand Opera and has sung in many performances with orchestras and choirs around the country. Robert Tucker hails from Australia, but was raised in Dunedin. He is a current Freemasons Opera Scholar with New Zealand Opera. David Barnard is Head of Accompanying and Vocal Coaching at the New Zealand School of Music coordinating the team of staff accompanists and vocal coaches. He is widely known and respected in the choral world.
The programme draws on songs by Arthur Somervell who draws on the poetry of A.E. Housman's "A Shropshire Lad" contrasted with the deeply intoxicating writing of Kurt Weil and his songs, alongside dreamy duets by Fauré and Schubert and the Hollywood Songbook of Hanns Eisler. A great opportunity for this seldom heard repertoire to be performed and in the intimate setting it was originally intended for. Kapiti concertgoers are in for an enthralling time!
