The Pink Caravan is coming to Porirua area - 1 November / 3 Nov / 10 Nov / 12 Nov

Emilie Petitdemange from Pink Caravan Education & Awareness - Porirua

Each year our breast health nurses travel around New Zealand in our iconic Pink Caravan, to talk about mammograms, offer advice about checking your breasts, healthy lifestyles and family risk.

Our nurses have valuable advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options.
The breast care nurses have visual and hands-on displays of breast cancer symptoms that most women won’t have seen before, and will use prosthetic breasts to show what a lump feels like.

We are currently touring the Porirua and Wellington regions with the Pink Caravan. Our breast nurses would love to have a chat to you, so check out where the Caravan is headed and when it comes to a town near you, pop in and say hi.

- On 1 November, our team of breast care nurses will park the Pink caravan in Porirua for the day at Countdown store (Cnr Parumoana St & Lyttleton Avenue, Porirua)

- On 3 November, the Pink caravan will be parked in Tawa for the day at New World store (35 Oxford Street, Tawa, Wellington)

- On 10 November, the Pink caravan will be parked in Tawa for the day at Countdown store (5 William Earp Place, Tawa, Wellington)

- On 12 November, the Pink caravan will be parked in Whitby for the day at New World store (Whitby Village Cntr, Whitby, Porirua)

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
