4 Thursday June 18 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz News Charity in need of donations • By Bea Gooding THE BLANKET Bank is in need of donations following increased demand due to Covid-19. The charity has set up a givealittle page to make up the shortfall of warm bedding they provided to vulnerable families across the city. Due to the pandemic, usual donations of used bedding was “much more difficult” to process therefore monetary donations were much preferred. Charity co-ordinator Martha Baxendell said compared to this time last year, demand was higher than normal, reflecting job security in families. “We started the givealittle because we’ve had fewer donations over the lockdown that we couldn’t accept and it (donations) was incredibly low at this time of year,” she said. Donations had already been made, meaning the charity only had to turn away one person, instead of many. The funds will be used to purchase new blankets, duvet, sheets and other warm items.

Author draws on own bullying experience THE THIRD and final book in a series about bullying by Lyttelton cartoonist and writer, Alex Hallatt, is set to hit bookshops later this month. Hallatt’s inspiration for the books came from her time at primary school in England. “When I was bullied at school, it was one of the most miserable periods of my life. I wrote the books I would have liked to have read back then. They are stories that give hope and tools for standing up to bullying,” Hallatt said. But bullying is still a problem in New Zealand schools. A 2019 Education Review Office study reported that 47 per cent of primary students had been bullied, while 61 per cent of primary students had witnessed bullying of others. Hallatt’s newest book, FAB Club 3 - The Big Match, follows on from Friends Against Bullying (FAB) Club and FAB Club 2 - Friends Against Cyberbullying. The first book’s theme was general bullying at school and the second book’s theme was online and phone bullying. For the third book, it was time for Hallatt to turn her attention to sport. “Playing sport can be fun, but not if you never get picked for the team.
