Earthquake help
We hope you are all ok after the earthquake! We were unable to get in to our building for 2 days, as we had to wait for it to be checked.
Just a reminder to check on older neighbours and those on their own after a bad shake. The image below was in the Sun today, what to do in an earthquake if you aren't mobile. Please pass it on to anyone who may benefit from seeing this.
If you or someone you know is a Total Mobility voucher client of ours, please be aware that they are taking up to 7 working days to arrive. You are welcome to pick them up from the office, Mon - Fri 10am - 1pm.
Take care and look after each other!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
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!
