For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.

Hi neighbours,
Do you have a wood chipper you would like to sell?
We are looking for a reasonably robust one (which we realise could be quite pricey)... we have loads of trees to maintain. Advice also welcome.

I’m a student Journalist from Whitireia, based in the Paremata-Mana area. Basically I’m looking for any stories that people have. Do you have a small, local business or perhaps you’ve just started up a new business? Do you have any pressing issues (such as in your neighbourhood) that you’d like to speak out about? Do you have an interesting story or some history that you’d like to share? Are you a local musician or artist or something else and want to get your story out there?
If any of this applies to you or there’s something else you’d like to speak about, please feel free to leave me a comment below or send me a private message.
Thanks,
Rosalie
