ROAD TRIP coming to Whangarei WHANGAREI – November 25 – Workshop 5.15-6.45pm New Zealand Red Cross Service Centre 59a Bank Street
Who is going?
Road Trip! Cissy and Sam, are hitting the road in the lead up to our 10th celebration of Neighbours Day Aotearoa.
Neighbours Day Aotearoa is fast approaching and Sam and Cissy are gearing up to hit the road again!
As many of you know, last year we travelled the length of the country, connecting with as many of you as possible. And once again, in just over a month we will be coming to a town near you! Starting on October 29th on the north island’s west coast, we will be driving Aotearoa and stopping along the way to chat with locals about community, connection and neighbours.
Our interactive workshops are a chance to develop and refresh some of the skills we all need when working in communities. We explore ways to reach out and include all the different people that make up our communities. These workshops are ideal for neighbours, community leaders, organisations, anyone that wants to build more connection. We will all learn from each other in a fun and supportive environment.Leg Three: North North Island

Kmart duvet recall
Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.
What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.
Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
