What are your winter-warming hacks?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

June is upon us, so it's well and truly time to hunker down for the colder temperatures. For some across Aotearoa, this just means a second duvet on the bed. And for others, it's defrosting your car windscreen daily and bringing out the heaters.

Stop the cuts at university - please sign this petition

We ask the Government to urgently provide universities the funds to stop impending job cuts.
A moratorium on job cuts will allow time for a sector wide discussion of the chronic underfunding of the sector and formation of alternative solutions.

Tertiary institutions are facing significant staffing and subject cuts.
It would take years to rebuild the capacity lost by such cuts and NZ society would be diminished. Faced with a similar situation in 2005, the then-Government gave an extra $61 million over three years. Budget 2023 increases are nowhere near enough given present inflation. We believe there are better options than cutting staff and courses, and want to see tertiary institutions given time to make good decisions.

Stand up for our tertiary institutions! Sign the petition to demand action against the devastating staffing and subject cuts.

Sam was disengaged and struggling to find meaning in his daily routine of attending school, doing chores, and playing video games. Then, he was invited to join a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme, which introduced him to the outdoors.

After the wilderness adventure, Sam became more confident and self-assured, and his teachers noticed a positive change in his sociability and willingness to ask questions in class.

He developed a "give-it-a-go" attitude. Inspired by his newfound passion for the outdoors, Sam plans to join the New Zealand Defence Force after finishing school.
