Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.

Boxes of unsorted photos can feel overwhelming to organise so they often get left for many years to clutter up our houses. In addition to this, most of us have smartphones that make it easy to take photos anywhere, so pretty soon our digital photo life becomes cluttered too.

The Amberley Fire Brigade is diving headfirst into a 24-hour swimming challenge to support those battling mental health struggles.

This weekend - February 24 and 25 - the team will brave the waters of Amberley Pool, symbolising the resilience required to navigate mental health challenges.

"As frontline responders, we witness the toll that mental health challenges take on individuals and families. We wanted to do something physically demanding to symbolise the strength needed to overcome these struggles,” Chris Reeves, one of the organising firefighters participating in the swim, said.

To kick off the fundraising initiative, the brigade will host a Gala Dinner on Friday, February 23.

Hosted by league star Richie Barnett, the event promises live music, delectable cuisine, and a live auction featuring exclusive items.

The Gala aims to raise funds for youth mental health charity I Am Hope, which currently needs $500,000 monthly to provide essential counselling services through its Gumboot Friday platform.

“The commitment and determination shown by the Amberley Fire Brigade in organising this event and taking on a gruelling challenge and organising this massive dinner is legendary. Their efforts will make a huge difference in supporting our mission to provide free counselling and mental health support to young people across New Zealand," I Am Hope founder Mike King said.

“We owe it to these amazing people in our community, like the Amberley Fire Brigade, for keeping our support going strong for kids who need it most."

Reeves encouraged local businesses and individuals to show their support by booking tables or sponsoring the event.

"This glamorous evening promises to be the highlight of the calendar, and we urge the community to join us in our mission to support mental health," he said.

KEY INFORMATION
Gala dinner: February 23, 6p, at the Amberley Tin Shed, Amberley Domain
Swim date: 12pm Saturday, February 24 to 12pm on Sunday, February 25 at Amberley Pool
Price: Table of 10 - $1500
