Lest we forget...

The Team from NZ Compare

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

From the poem 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon

You can sign up as an individual, or as team, such as a workplace. Regardless, each person must raise $1000 or more to qualify for a free jump.

When you sign up you'll get to choose where you jump and which region you'd like your funds to go to - these don't have to be the same, they could be at opposite ends of the country.

If you don't know where you want to jump yet, that's absolutely fine. Your local Cancer Society team can talk you through your options and help you pick the jump site that's right for you.

Stop hesitating, go on, sign up now!

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whฤnau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

Another wonderful image from Simon Woolf. It was taken on the Kฤpiti Coast.

"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."

What are the worst streets in our city for larger vehicles?

Editor Reporter from The Post

A truck stuck got stuck a narrow Wellington road this week - and it is not the first big-wheeled victim of the capitalโ€™s tight thoroughfares.

A truck stuck got stuck a narrow Wellington road this week - and it is not the first big-wheeled victim of the capitalโ€™s tight thoroughfares.

Some Wellington streets are more likely than others to collect wedged buses and trucks, with one resident saying in 2016 that a stuck bus was a six-monthly affair on one bend.
