Warm Home Project- Fixing our home for pregnant teens

Rebecca Bangma from The House of Grace Trust - Wellington

Will you help keep our young mothers and their babies warm this winter?

Pregnant young girls (between the ages of 12 and 23) come to The House of Grace because they need to be in a safe, loving home environment. They need a place to prepare for childbirth, where they can learn how to safely parent a new baby, how to run a household, and are supported to make plans for a bright future. Our home in Wellington is in desperate need of fixing, our roof is leaking, windows are drafty and it's time to do something about it!

Please read on with the link below to givealittle to see how you can make a big difference.

Thank you for your support!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
