Bowel cancer can develop with no warning signs. Finding it early with the free bowel screening test could save your life.

Within the next two years, everyone aged 60 to 74 who lives in the Nelson Marlborough region and who can receive publicly-funded healthcare, will be sent a test kit in the mail.

It's important that you do the test as soon as possible, and post it back. The test is easy, clean, and you can do it at home.

Make sure your postal address is up to date with your GP.

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!
