For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence such as family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, bullying, and more. Anyone can be affected by incidents of violence and abuse and they can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including relationships, work and school.
To do your part this month, you could consider learning more about how to hold a safe discussion if you think someone you know is experiencing family violence, consider supporting a women’s refuge and promoting the ‘It’s Not OK’ message. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon New Zealand Day on the 25th of November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.
Let us know how you’re spreading the ‘It’s Not OK’ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Signing up only takes 2 minutes and when you do, you’ll be entered to win a personal emergency grab bag or civil defence wheelie bin kit from NZ Civil Defence.
ShakeOut takes place around the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake:
DROP - down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.
COVER - your head and neck (or entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you). If there is no shelter nearby, cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
HOLD - on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.
Head to www.shakeout.govt.nz... to sign up today and get involved!
They've been busy spreading joy throughout their community during lockdown with treats, flowers and food parcels.
