๐ŸŒŸ Spread Kindness on Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Elaine from Upgrade Pilates

๐ŸŒŸ Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, a special occasion dedicated to spreading love, compassion, and generosity. Let's come together and make this world a better place, one small act of kindness at a time. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’ซ ๐ŸŒบ Remember, kindness doesn't have to be grand gestures. It can be as simple as a smile, a kind word, or lending a helping hand to someone in need. Together, we can create a ripple effect of goodness that reaches far and wide. ๐Ÿ’ซ. ๐ŸŒ Let's challenge ourselves today and throughout the year to perform at least one random act of kindness every day. It could be holding the door open for someone, buying a coffee for a stranger, or offering a listening ear to someone who needs it.
Let's create a wave of positivity that will inspire others to do the same! ๐ŸŒŠโค๏ธ โœจ

Secure your homes over summer

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.

Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
โ€œBurglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.โ€

Inspector Barnaby says thereโ€™s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
โš ๏ธ If youโ€™re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
โš ๏ธ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
โš ๏ธ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if youโ€™re going away and look out for one another.โ€

If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
