Updating 'Support group for people with no living blood relatives'

Niki from Newtown

To all those absolutely wonderful people who offered voluntary help when I placed my first post...the first group is aimed at normally functioning people in the community, I don't think we will need any kind of outside help, we just need each other. However I believe that a second group will develop and that will be aimed at people with dissabilities within the community who also have no living blood relatives. I see a place for very valued kind volunteers in creating a welcoming and safe environment for the group members. We have been incredibly lucky by being offered the use of the beautiful Haitaitai Bowling Club rooms as a base rent free...how wonderful is that! So we have somewhere lovely to go, many offers of voluntary help from kind members in the community and potentially our first member for the group for people with dissabilities who are also completly alone. Within the first group (my group) there are five members so far. I can't thank the outside supporters enough, please stay in contact. Regards, Niki.

πŸͺ±πŸ¦ When are you the most productive? πŸŒ™πŸ¦‰

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choiceβ€”it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
