Volunteers needed!
I currently need participants for my PhD study. I am looking for healthy people to come in to my office in Christchurch CBD for around an hour, on two occasions, to complete some pen and paper activities with me (fun ones according to previous participants!). Please note that you cannot have had a mental health diagnosis at any point to take part in this study (e.g. depression).
This is a volunteer opportunity, but you will also receive $50 petrol vouchers as a thank you for your time and travel. Additionally, you can feel good knowing you are giving your time towards mental health research!
If you are interested please email me at zoe.barczyk@postgrad.otago.ac.nz , or visit the website listed, as I will need to send you an information sheet to read over and go through some screening questions.
Thanks 🙂

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?
Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.
We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
