Thank you Wattie's
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to Wattie’s NZ and the 150 schools who took part in this year's Cans for Good campaign. Thanks to the incredible effort of students, teachers and whānau, over 30,000 cans were collected and will make a huge difference to Salvation Army foodbanks around Aotearoa.
Wattie’s generously donated a further 25,000 cans taking the total number collected to over 56,000 cans.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Wellington Jane's Walk Saturday 4 May
Join us for a citizen led conversation walking through familiar streets. Starting at Dixon St steps in central Wellington, see the streets with fresh eyes as we look at current issues, old and new buildings, artworks, public spaces and how we use them, and proposals for change.
This is Wellington Living Streets Aotearoa fourth Jane's Walk, in the steps of urbanist Jane Jacob's who argued against motorway destruction of a neighbourhood in New York in the 1960s and won. She believed in the power of the people to help develop and grow public spaces in an organic way.
Several speakers will talk to points of interest along the way and we encourage everyone to take part.
Please RSVP on to our email or at Wellington Living Streets Aotearoa facebook page.
