What sets these seesaws apart is their remarkable accessibility, catering not only to wheelchair users but also embracing a world of possibilities for all children. Our organisation is enhancing the lives and prospects of disabled children and young adults. We invite you to join us in our mission by donating to help us reach our goal.
In addition to our fundraising efforts, we're excited to share an engaging e-book, a fusion of brochure and book, presented in an innovative flipbook format. You can access it effortlessly by clicking the provided web link, where you can conveniently read it on your device or download the PDF. We're delighted to introduce "The Joyful Balance: Wheelchair-Accessible Seesaw in Whangarei" to you, a testament to the joy and inclusivity we aim to bring to our Whangārei community.

For Thursday, the 2nd November at 6pm, we have the French film, On the Wandering Paths.
Our 8pm screening is the documentary on the life and career of Australian singer, John Farnham, Finding the Voice.
On The Wandering Paths
Drama (French with English subtitles), Rated M, 95 mins.
Cast: Jean Dujardin, Izïa Higelin, Joséphine Japy, Anny Duperey and Dylan Robert. Director: Denis Imbert
Pierre is a celebrated writer with a penchant for extreme experiences. One drunken evening, he climbs the facade of a building and falls several storeys. The resulting accident leaves him in a coma for days and when he comes out of it, he's barely able to stand. Against everyone’s advice, he decides to hike across the country, from Provence to Mont-Saint-Michel. His route takes in forgotten trails through some of France's beautiful regions.
One of the hits of the 2023 French Film Festival – this is a powerful story of healing and reconnection to nature.

- Until 8:00am Tue 31 Oct there'll be periods of heavy rain, and amounts may approach warning criteria.
- Vince Cocurullo, Mayor of Whangārei, is asking people to drive carefully as the impact of ex-Tropical Cyclone Lola continue to be felt.
- At least 6000 homes were left without power in Northland on Monday morning.

- In Northland, the Kaeo River has been also rising fast, according to Northland's regional council's webcams. If the river floods, it could overflow to State Highway 10.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.
The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.
