Can you spare an hour or two in support of Mary Potter Hospice?
We need volunteers for our Annual Street Appeal Collection on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 May 2019 to help collect funds throughout Wellington, Porirua and Kāpiti for Mary Potter Hospice – your local hospice.
2019 is a special year for us as 40 years ago, Mary Potter Hospice was gifted to the people of the Wellington region to be run as a community hospice. We’re so excited to celebrate this milestone and it’s thanks to volunteers like you that we are able to continue to provide our services free of charge.
You can volunteer from one hour through to both days in an area convenient to you, and we’ll provide you with guidelines and collection equipment. Thank you so much for your support!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
