Help us create a "Welcoming Plan"

The Team from Whangarei District Council

We're running a survey for newcomers* to help us create a Welcoming Plan:
🌏 www.wdc.govt.nz...

And we're inviting migrants, ethnic communities and relevant to a series of hui to discuss community, access, opportunities, and connection - the first meeting is at 3:30pm on Thursday 20 February 2025.

Whangārei is renowned for its strong community spirit and this continues to grow into something even more special as we expand our cultural diversity. Migrants and newcomers bring skills and unique viewpoints that diversify and enrich our whole District, and we want everyone to feel at home and love it here.

* What's a "newcomer"? If you think this survey is for you then it's probably for you! And if you've lived in Whangārei District for less than 5 years then it's definitely for you.

Morning Aches Are Optional - Let’s Start the Year Sleeping Better

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Whangarei

Hey neighbours,

Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.

It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.

Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...
