Companion Walking – Volunteers Needed

Steph Deegan from Age Concern Wellington Region

We’re reaching out to the local communities around Porirua and Mana as we have a number of older people in the area needing a companion to walk with.
We’d love to hear from you if you:
• Enjoy walking, fresh air & companionship
• Can spare one or two daytime hours each week
• Have a genuine empathy with older people
• Are keen to make a real difference to the lives of others

For more details about our Companion Walking Service or to sign up to become a volunteer, please visit our website: www.acwellington.org.nz...

Or call 04 499 6646 or email cws@acwellington.org.nz

Our team are looking forward to hearing from you.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
