Help our charity

Glen from Central Whangarei

So is anybody interested in helping our new charity?

Children with disability NZ?

And having the opportunity to learn. I spend a lot of time creating on computers.

This would be voluntary, but a good opportunity to increase your skill base.

I have access to a range of professional software including Canva, Adobe creative cloud, designer. Website software, office 365, and much more but I am only one person.

To help our new charity succeed we want to build our brand.

I would love to see us have a more educational YouTube page.

Does anybody want to start writing children's books?

I think I have the software, we would love books that include disabled children as the feature of the book.

I have a huge amount of abilities and a disability but really the abilities outweigh the disability.

So many ideas so much software so little time.

I have more than one computer and the capacity to teach and motivate.

I start late morning and work late into the night.

This would suit somebody able to learn and wanting to move forward and feel accomplished.

Personally, at the end of each day, I feel I have accomplished many things.

I have a home office not far from the Town Basin in a lovely bush setting ideal for being creative.

The person would work on a computer beside me in my home office and help me help others. a few hours a week, days or evenings.

3 cats and a dog will love to meet new people.

If interested please pm Glen McMillan

Changing the conversation around dementia

Jane Mander Retirement Village

Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.

Walking your dog or your dog walking you in Tikipunga

Kristi Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

Here are two great places to take your pooch out and about in Tikipunga - Beasley Park and the Hatea River walk.

Beasley Park, Tikipunga
Beasley Park is a suburban park close to Beazley Crescent. It is a calm place to play off-leash with a good variety of shade, sun, slopes and flat spaces. It is a quiet neighbourhood park with an interesting central waterway to explore.

Hātea River Walk
The Hatea River walkway is a dog-friendly place for on-leash exploring, with a forested walkway passing through several parks and suburbs starting from Otuihau/Whangārei Falls in Tikipunga and leading all the way to the central city at Riverside (about 6 kilometres)
There are well-established pathways (your dog must stay on leash and stick to the paths). Expect lots of passing foot-traffic - including kids.
Take a picnic, a ball, or other park activities. You will need to take rubbish home with you.

Sir John Key thinks lying and corruption is okay

Tel from Tikipunga

I thought he was better than that. This - www.stuff.co.nz... - is what he said.
He objects to Harris because she supports schemes such as health care and instead supports someone who thought drinking bleach was a cure for covid.
