Franklin, your opinion matters!

Franklin Hospice

In the next two decades, our Franklin district will experience the biggest population growth of anywhere in New Zealand.

To prepare for this dramatic increase in demand, we at Franklin Hospice need to do all we can to listen to feedback, not only from people who have used our services in the past, but also from those who are likely to need our services in the future.

Will you please help us? Your opinion matters!

I am asking you to please help us by taking a few minutes of your time to share your views and take our survey before we begin making vital future decisions, so we can continue to provide our services free of charge to those with life-limiting illnesses so they can focus on what’s important – to "Live Every Moment".

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
