Head to the Electricity Authority’s website, where they offer free tools to help you compare and switch plans with ease. With so many New Zealanders already saving up to $400 a year, there’s no reason to wait. Smart power choices start here, and the benefits can last all year long.

This Thursday – 19th June at the NP District Council
The event, as usual, will start at 9:30am with coffee and tea available beforehand and is intended to allow a time for questions and finish at 11 am.

We sometimes forget that the Fire and Emergency Service, the Ambulance Service and to a lesser extent our Police force, are only really made viable by the huge amount of work and hours that are performed by the largely unsung volunteer heroes within our communities around the country.

Representatives from the Police, Fire Service and neighbourhood Watch will be presenting

On behalf of NP Positive Ageing, Age Concern Taranaki, Grey Power NP and of course, the NP District Council

Are you diagnosed with Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis? And are you struggling with pain and discomfort as a result of the arthritis?
Bowen Therapy appears to be very supportive of the type of pain and discomfort associated with osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis.

I am wanting to investigate this a little further, so I am looking for people who are needing support with their pain and inflammation.

Therefore, I am offering you this:
4 sessions of Bowen Therapy for the price of 3.

The weekly sessions allow your body to really discover the benefits of Bowen and they will provide me with the information I need.
If you are keen to give Bowen a go and have the 4th session for free, please reach out or book your initial session here: holistic-health-taranaki.au4.cliniko.com...
