Wool for Charity knitting.

Glen from Flagstaff

I knit for Hospice, Plunket, Womens Refuge, Oncology wards and after many years of knitting I'm running out of wool. Any wool that people don't require, any amount or ply (8ply or under preferable) would be appreciated. Will pick up from Flagstaff or Rototuna.

Any wool that people don't require, any amount or ply (8ply or under preferable) would be appreciated. Will pick up from Flagstaff or Rototuna. I've just finished knitting two "tree jackets" for the new childrens playground at Hamilton Gardens so this has taken up most of my surplus wool. I was asked to do these by the bosses at the Gardens as contractors had damaged two tree trunks. You can txt me at 027 696 7886 with address and phone number. Much appreciated.

From 2017, HPV immunisation will be free for everyone aged 9 to 26. That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.

HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.

For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv
