Manukau East Shopping Shuttle

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

This can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness and a lack of independence. MECOSS provides community transport to support older people to live more independent lives.
The Manukau East Shopping Shuttle is a community service that eliminates the need for people to be reliant on family, friends or neighbours to take them to do their shopping. It's also a cheaper option than taxis.
Every Thursday, our friendly volunteer drivers and volunteer companion shoppers, collect clients from their home and drive them in a community shuttle van to Botany Town Centre or Pakuranga Plaza. They can enjoy two hours of shopping before being returned home early in the afternoon.
The $10 cost includes the return fare and a cup of tea or coffee over a chat. Mobility equipment is available on request. Please phone Maureen on 0800 632 677 to book for next Thursday.

Water flows so freely from our taps that we don’t give it a second thought. Every drop has been on an incredible journey from the water source to the treatment plant, several reservoirs and pipes.

This means tap water is precious, so we’re encouraging Aucklanders to use water wisely.

You can find a number of water-wise tips at waterforlife.org.nz. But, before you do that ponder this, how much water do you think Aucklanders use every day? Click on the video below to find out!

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This year’s theme is ‘Small Things Make a Big Difference’ - we couldn’t agree more!

Let us know how you’re celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:
