With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about those having a difficult time.
From elderly neighbours with no one to celebrate with to homeless families and those with disabilities struggling to just get by, reach out to someone who could use a helping hand and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!
Share your photos and experiences using the following hashtag so we can see what you got up to.

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.
And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Auckland’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 962 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.

Hello Neighbours
My parents have an old piano that needs a new home. It is a W.Daneman and sons originally made in London.
There is no structural damage or scratches and with a bit of luck it just needs a decent tune.
Pick up location is Stanley Point. Devonport.
Thankyou

I'm selling my Ocean Kayak Scrambler XT - it has been a great Kayak for me and the family - very comfortable for an adult and even a couple of kids on either end. Super stable and easy to paddle.

Super stable and easy to paddle.
If you want to take it fishing then this model is specifically designed for it... it has a rod holder and all the right bits and pieces to tie your gear to. Comes with a paddle and removable seat/back rest. I've caught a couple of fish with this and it is nice and stable for landing them. It is great fun when you hook a fish from this and then get them in the kayak (almost makes it seem fair!). Some people even go diving from their Scrambler XT because it is so stable and easy to get back into from the water. Very happy if you want to view or take it out on the water for a spin... not far from Cheltenham Beach.
