Do you know someone who isn’t coping at home?
My name is Rochelle and I’m the care manager at Good Friends, a new home help service in Christchurch. My job is to help older and less-abled people keep their independence for longer by finding them the right kind of help. My background is nursing, so I’m really good at working out what sort of assistance will make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Talk to me about Good Friends on 0800 20 41 20 or visit www.goodfriends.co.nz...

Baby knitting
At night while watching TV I knit baby cardys, bootees, beanies and have a couple of bags that I would like to donate to a worthy cause. It is all wool and would range from newborn to about 6mths old.
Would anyone have any suggestions for a place that would appreciate it.
Lest we forget...
