HISTORIC WOODEN CROSS PROJECT
The Friends of Karori Cemetery are embarking on their first fundraising and restoration project.
The large Totara cross found at Karori Cemetery is the Cemetery's oldest landmark. It was originally placed at the top of the rise at the centre of the Cemetery in 1892 and had stood for over 120 years. It would have once been visible to everyone who visited the Cemetery.
The Friends of Karori Cemetery are seeking contributions to have the Cross conserved and restored to its original position. Join with the Friends by donating to help ensure this piece of Wellington's cultural heritage is not lost forever.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
