Be yourself, warts and all, in new group

Do you find that all too often socialising is more about trying to fit in, say the right thing, or hustle for approval?

Women Heart-Sharing Circle Welcome to the Women Heart-Sharing-Circle where you are invited to step out of the head and into the heart as we celebrate our common humanity and unique selves. The sharing circles follow the tradition of indigenous ‘talking object’ circles. Whoever feels like …

Women's art group for NEV

A Women's Art Group starting up in the valley will bring women who are new to Dunedin to learn and share art and craft skills while making connections with other women in the community. Group facilitator Chloe Mackenzie says art is a wonderful way to express stories. “The visual nature of craft can transcend the barriers of verbal language, providing an excellent focal point to bring people together.” After becoming involved with refugee resettlement last year through the Red Cross she began to think about additional ways she could help new Kiwis feel welcome in our community and had …

Passion for benefits of electric cars

A passion for advocating about climate change and some of its lesser talked about effects such as increasing ocean acidification are what inspires North East Valley resident Pam McKinley to continue educating people about electric cars. “What comes out of the back of your car goes up into the atmosphere, but comes down into our oceans,” says Pam. “Electric vehicles are great for the environment and your wallet.” The McKinley family of four have had their electric car for four years and it does everything they need it to do, from running errands around to town, to taking a …

Love your Valley Voice!

Did you know it costs about $1 to produce and deliver each copy of the Valley Voice to mailboxes in the North East Valley area? This month we are trialling a voluntary community subscription (with an idea to run this as a once-a-year fundraising drive every April). We want to emphasise that this is an entirely voluntary donation. Our fantastic community newsletter has been delivered free for the past 25 years and the Valley Project fully intends to keep it that way. Of course, we are always looking for new ways to come up with the funding. Currently about …
