SuperSeniors June

Office for Seniors

The latest edition of SuperSeniors is out now!

In this issue, we profile one of the unsung heroes of the Elder Abuse Response Service (EARS) and learn more about the help the service offers.

We also chat with Dr Doug Wilson, 2021 Senior New Zealander of the Year Te Mātāpuputu o te Tau, and Andrea Gaskin, Director and Founder of charity organisation Connect the Dots, about how she’s making the art scene in Auckland accessible to seniors.

There’s advice on how to eat healthy, how to get tech savvy, and updated laws for renters and landlords.

Check it out and be sure to share!: bit.ly...

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

🔌FREE $50 OFF ANY ELECTRICAL WORK - LIMIT 7🔌

Kate from Illuminate Ltd

Have you got any electrical faults, downlight replacing, outdoor lighting, switchboard upgrades that need servicing?

If so, then we’ve got you covered!


We’ve been busy here at Illuminate but we’ve had a big house job put on hold until next week which means a couple of our tradesmen will be knocking around the workshop for the next few days.

We’d rather they were kept busy so we’ll give you $50 of your bill for any work booked in for next week.

Plus we’ll do a free Switchboard Inspection (valued at $79) while we’re at your place to check the safety standards.

📞Call us on 09 238 3384 to book or send a message mentioning this post to get the discount.

If you know of someone that needs any electrical work done, tag them in this post. 💡🛠️
