Newlands Community House
givealittle.co.nz...
Hi Neighbors - Newlands Community House has been operating for over 40 years, and this past year we struggled a lot with fundraising and missed out on quite a few grant applications. The house looks after members, supporting Independence with Dignity while they remain in their own homes for as long as possible. We also organise local activities for them to participate in and socialise so they are not on their own or alone. Some of the groups we have are Knitting, sewing, exercise classes, and they all come together on a Friday for a lunch prepared by some of our volunteers. We would really appreciate your support.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
