Did you know that three families lose a loved one to suicide every two days? You can help change this by donating to Mike King's work.

The current “harden up, stay staunch and let’s not talk about it” attitude is a problem. By changing this attitude, lives will be saved. Every dollar raised enables Mike to continue his vital work with communities across NZ.

The Appliance Shed is leading a fundraising campaign to support Mike King's Key To Life Trust. Read more about the long-standing relationship Appliance Shed has with Mike King here

The Key to Life Trust equips our nation's young people to check in on their mates and remind them it’s okay to ask for help. It’s important we all feel valued and know that someone has our backs when times are tough. Please donate and make a difference in your community.

Thank you for your support!

Alpine Fault

I guess many of you will have been following some of the current media commentary around the Alpine Fault (AF8) project. In a large emergency such as a big earthquake, the first people you are likely to see will be your neighbours.

The priority for all emergency services will be on saving lives, so it might be several days before we can start to check individual neighbourhoods. If you are prepared to manage on your own for up to a week, you will relieve pressure on emergency services and you’ll be able to help those around you.

There are some great new information videos about the Alpine Fault here

Hi neighbours, it's Baz here from the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter. Our fundraising campaign to help us purchase two new sets of Night Vision Goggles has now reached $4,315, still a long way to go to reach our target of $36,000 but every dollar counts, thanks guys.

Hi neighbours, it's Baz here from the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter. Our fundraising campaign to help us purchase two new sets of Night Vision Goggles has now reached $4,315, still a long way to go to reach our target of $36,000 but every dollar counts, thanks guys.

Two nights ago we were dispatched at 2.10am to Murchison for a medical emergency. It was extremely foggy and we were only able to make it to the Owen and landed there while a St John Ambulance brought the patient to us. We then flew the patient to Nelson Hospital where they were treated. Without night vision goggles and the way the weather was, there would be no way we would have been able to get to them. It would have been a long journey to Nelson Hospital in the ambulance and potentially a different outcome. These goggles really are vital in our safety and also finding you.

How will you be celebrating National Volunteer Week next month?

National Volunteer Week (17-23 of June 2018)
celebrates the 1.2 million Kiwis who are volunteering their time and skills to our communities every year.

The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.

We think this captures the essence of what volunteering is about. This is a time to acknowledge how volunteering efforts contribute to and enrich all communities within Aotearoa.

Could you move from a 3-bed to a motorhome?

Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.

Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?
