The fund, which is a registered charity in Whakatane, is designed to help those who are financially disadvantaged with urgent health problems.The fund is designed to assist not only GPs, but the overburdened public health system by prioritizing urgent cases; which might have to otherwise wait many months to be reviewed and treated.The fund if it receives sufficient corporate and public financial support, will pay for urgent assessment by specialists and urgent investigations they may require. If there was someone who was interested in helping with administration, or has knowledge of fundraising,and would like to help for four hours a fortnight please contact me. Dr Paul Anderson

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.
