Open mic - for youth (with guardian)

Lance from Hillcrest

These school holidays might be an ideal time to get your family together and let your musical teenagers show off what they can do - it's mainly for acoustic guitar/singing, but we can provide piano too if requested in advance, or any instruments you bring along are ok. Held at Takapuna Bar … View moreThese school holidays might be an ideal time to get your family together and let your musical teenagers show off what they can do - it's mainly for acoustic guitar/singing, but we can provide piano too if requested in advance, or any instruments you bring along are ok. Held at Takapuna Bar (2a Anzac St) - starts from 7:30pm Tuesdays. All ages/experience, it's a general open mic night and has some talented regulars going till late, but thought it was worth letting people know its youth friendly early in the night (with guardian), as we often have a few and some are really talented. It's a good chance to get some performance experience too. Free entry for all.

400 little Kiwis need your help.

Hi Neighbours

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.

KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.

"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”

40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz
