It is a part of our history that not many people know about.
The Penguin was the inter-island ferry of its day. When it sank in a storm on 12th February 1909, two thirds of those on board lost their lives including all of the children and all except one woman.
The Friends will be running their annual S.S. Penguin tour on the 11th February from 1-3pm. This tour will cover the stories of some of the many lives lost that night. Tickets are $10 per person. Please visit our website to secure yours:

Hi everyone, is it better to buy fruit and vegetables from the Wellington Markets, or from the supermarket? I'm just wondering whether it is better to support NZ growers, and whether prices at the markets are actually cheaper for fruit and veg. Any advice would be appreciated.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.
Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.
Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

To find us, go in and past Reception and turn right.
Did you know in New Zealand about 9,000 people each year have a stroke. Some 2,000 die from a stroke; about another 2,000 are left severely incapacitated, about another 2,000 have considerable disability and the rest have some disability or nearly recover. Nobody recovers completely.
It is estimated that some 50% of strokes can be avoided with life style changes.
Interested to find out what you can do to have a good chance to avoid a stroke??
We look forward to meeting all fellow stroke survivors, carers and friends and discussing how we are getting on.
Nga mihi,
Peter Macleod
