    • A Very Fine Affair
      • Today I had the pleasure of triumphantly depositing $1700 in the Oxfam Coffee Break bank account! This money was raised at the formal dinner, A Fine Affair, by the amazing group of timebankers, volunteers, sponsors and guests, who worked, donated and consumed delicious fairtrade food and drink. The day started bright and early for our star chef, Tania Sawicki Mead, along with a dedicated team of kitchen hands including Nolan Hodgeson, Karly Christ, Kate Wilson and Renee Rushton. A crisp selection of fresh food donated by Commonsense Organics and The Organic Connection was unpacked and the preparation began. The Newtown Community Centre Theatre was transformed into a beautiful, fine-dining restaurant setting lit with fairy lights and candles and decorated with fair-trade coffee sacks.

    • Newtown Union Health announces impact of funding cuts
      • On Thursday 31st May the Policy Board of the primary health care service, Newtown Union Health Service (NUHS), met to discuss the proposed management plan to accommodate a DHB funding reduction to frontline services of $274, 000. The Board has made the decision to put on hold any decision until the community has been made aware of the front line services that are having to be reduced as a result of the DHB funding cut. However, prior to implementation of this proposal, the board is calling an open public meeting to consult with service members and other interested community representatives.

    • Newtown group to protest against funding cut to local health care service
      • In a classic case of David versus Goliath, concerned members of the Newtown community will protest the quarter million funding cut to the Newtown Union Health Service on Friday. NUHS has been told by the Capital and Coast District Health Board that it will lose $274,000 in funding from July 1. The frontline primary health care service caters to South Wellington’s most vulnerable communities, looking after people who have difficulty accessing appropriate and affordable health care due to socio-economic deprivation and language barriers.
