Each year our breast health nurses travel around New Zealand in our iconic Pink Caravan, to talk about mammograms, offer advice about checking your breasts, healthy lifestyles and family risk.

Our nurses have valuable advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options. The breast care nurses have visual and hands-on displays of breast cancer symptoms that most women won’t have seen before, and will use prosthetic breasts to show what a lump feels like.

We are currently touring the Wellington region with the Pink Caravan. Our breast nurses would love to have a chat to you, so check out where the Caravan is headed and when it comes to a town near you, pop in and say hi.

- On 11 November, our team of breast care nurses will park the Pink caravan in Crofton Downs for the day at Countdown store (124 Churchill Drive, Crofton Downs, Wellington)

Khandallah Village Market: Online!

Amanda from Khandallah

Since we are to remain at level 2, we are going to adapt rather than cancel yet again. For November’s market, we will have the market online.

What this means is local (i.e Wellington based) makers will have the opportunity advertise their wares in the event page. You will need to contact the maker directly to organise a purchase/delivery. This may be the case for the December market.
As much as we would love to see you in person, the level 2 restrictions make it infeasible to operate on site. We hope that this is an acceptable compromise, and that you will continue to support local!

There, they're and their!

NumberWorks'nWords Karori

There, they’re and their are the big trio of commonly confused words with all three of them pronounced the same.
- There means the opposite of here; “at that place.”
- They’re is a contraction of “they are” or “they were.”
- Their means “belongs to them.”
