Wardens playing crucial role as<br />

cost of living continues to bite<br />

AN EASTERN suburbs<br />

organisation is stepping up to<br />

support those in the community<br />

feeling the pinch of rising costs.<br />

The Ōtautahi Māori Wardens<br />

is collecting, packing, and distributing<br />

up to 80 food parcels<br />

weekly, delivering any leftovers<br />

to community pantries in the<br />

east. The wardens’ kaupapa of<br />

‘one parcel, one car’ means those<br />

in need are offered immediate<br />

relief with weekly necessities,<br />

and they support as many people<br />

as possible with every delivery.<br />

Data from Stats NZ shows<br />

the cost of living for the average<br />

household increased 7.4 per cent<br />

in the year ending September<br />

2023. Grocery food was a significant<br />

contributor to this, rising<br />

11.1 per cent.<br />

Wardens kaiwhakahaere<br />

(chair) Jacqui Te Wani said when<br />

the organisation first started<br />

filling the community pantries<br />

and food parcels, it was low<br />

to just below middle-income<br />

families which typically sought<br />

assistance.<br />

Since Covid, the demand<br />

for support has extended to<br />

include middle-income earners<br />

and above, and the pressure on<br />

households means people are<br />

travelling further afield for help.<br />

“What we’re seeing now is<br />

people outside of the east that<br />

are coming,” Te Wani said. “It’s<br />

not just this side; we are seeing<br />

them from Shirley, Riccarton,<br />

wherever.”<br />

Unfortunately for the wardens,<br />

their food supplier closed permanently<br />

before Christmas, and<br />

they have been trying to find an<br />

alternative to meet community<br />

demand.<br />

“Demand around Christmas<br />

was especially high as this is<br />

a challenging time for many<br />

whānau. The reality is if we had<br />

more supplies, the number of<br />

food parcels we distribute could<br />

easily be up to <strong>14</strong>0 every week.”<br />

Providing access to food for<br />

people in need is not the only<br />

way the wardens wrap their arms<br />

around the communities they<br />

serve.<br />

Volunteers are active at a range<br />

of community events, from<br />

large-scale festivals to tangi, or<br />

simply by providing one-on-one<br />

support to a community member<br />

who may be struggling. They<br />

offer security, day and night<br />

patrol, traffic control, cultural<br />

assistance, and other essential<br />

services, such as transportation,<br />

to vulnerable communities.<br />

“When we rock up to an event,<br />

and people see Ōtautahi Māori<br />

Wardens, they have an automatic<br />

perception they’re safe,” Te Wani<br />

said.<br />

Her daughter Rawinia has<br />

been a warden since she was 13.<br />

She was the youngest warranted<br />

warden and is now the head<br />

funding co-ordinator.<br />

Rātā Foundation has provided<br />

funding to Ōtautahi Māori<br />

Wardens for several years,<br />

including support with costs for<br />

a van to ensure they can make its<br />

deliveries.<br />

Rātā chief executive Leighton<br />

DEDICATED: Jacqui Te Wani<br />

helps pack food parcels<br />

for the Ōtautahi Māori<br />

Wardens. The group is<br />

responsible for collecting,<br />

packing, and distributing<br />

up to 80 food parcels every<br />

week.<br />

Evans says the community relies<br />

on good people like Te Wani<br />

and her team for assistance in<br />

challenging times.<br />

“It’s no surprise that as the<br />

cost of living increases, demand<br />

for support services that provide<br />

access to life’s essentials also goes<br />

up,” said Evans.<br />

next step up for your<br />

Walking with grief after double cancer blow<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

JADE BELL’S solution to<br />

grief was to walk with it, after<br />

winning her cancer battle but<br />

losing her partner to the disease.<br />

To continue her walk, Bell will<br />

participate in the Relay for Life<br />

on Saturday as a solo participant<br />

for the 12-hour event.<br />

Bell, 44, was diagnosed<br />

with hodgkins lymphoma on<br />

Christmas Eve 2004 and after<br />

undergoing treatment in 2005,<br />

was able to beat the cancer.<br />

“The cancer is behind me. I<br />

do have a couple of health issues<br />

now that are treatment-related<br />

from the radiation and chemo,”<br />

she said.<br />

Bell was hoping to put the<br />

disease behind her, but that<br />

proved not to be. In 2022 she lost<br />

her partner of almost 18 years,<br />

John Wood, to pancreatic<br />

cancer.<br />

“John died on October 25, a<br />

day before our 18th anniversary<br />

and three days before his<br />

birthday.”<br />

Bell said his battle was<br />

“horrific”.<br />

“We only had two-and-a-half<br />

months from finding out that<br />

he had cancer to his passing<br />

so everything happened really<br />

quickly.<br />

“We hadn’t long been together<br />

when I was diagnosed and he<br />

helped me through my cancer<br />

and my treatment. So it was<br />

really lovely to be able to care for<br />

ON TRACK: Jade Bell<br />

started walking after the<br />

death of her partner, and<br />

last year walked more than<br />

2400km.<br />

him, but really hard to know that<br />

I wasn’t going to be able to help<br />

him through,” Bell said.<br />

After John died, Bell began<br />

walking.<br />

“I joined the Walk1200km<br />

challenge soon after he passed,<br />

and last year I walked over<br />

2400km.<br />

“I don’t say it helped me<br />

through my grief, I say I walk with<br />

my grief.”<br />

At first, she started walking<br />

around her Templeton neighbourhood,<br />

continuing her journey<br />

around the hills.<br />

“I spent many hours walking<br />

over the Port Hills, which was just<br />

amazing. I quite often say when<br />

you’re on a track like that you<br />

don’t feel alone but sometimes you<br />

can be in a room crowded with<br />

people and feel quite alone.”<br />

Bell’s first Relay for Life was last<br />

year when her friends invited her<br />

to complete a lap. This year<br />

it will be a bit different as she<br />

aims to complete a minimum<br />

of 40km and could walk up to<br />

70km.<br />

“I really want to do as much<br />

I can for the Cancer Society<br />

because they don’t receive any<br />

Government funding and the<br />

work they do is priceless,” she<br />

said.<br />

For Bell, the event offers her a<br />

chance to remember John.<br />

“It is another challenge to keep<br />

me moving forward, to remember<br />

John and other loved ones who<br />

lost the battle, to celebrate my<br />

survival and support those<br />

fighting.”<br />

• Relay for Life runs from<br />

10am-10pm on Saturday at<br />

Brookside Park, Rolleston.<br />

BATTLE LOST: Jade Bell’s partner of almost 18 years John<br />

Wood died from pancreatic cancer in 2022.<br />

We’re making<br />

speeds way safer<br />

in Bromley, Linwood,<br />

Phillipstown and<br />

Woolston<br />

We’re changing speeds to<br />

30km/h around schools<br />

and neighbourhood<br />

streets to make it way<br />

safer for everyone to walk,<br />

bike and scoot to school,<br />

work or play.<br />

New speed signs are being<br />

installed in your area and<br />

will be completed by<br />

31 <strong>March</strong> <strong>2024</strong>.<br />

Ngā mihi nui, thanks for<br />

reducing your speed.<br />

Looking to make<br />

that next step up<br />

for your family<br />

home?<br />

As <strong>2024</strong> progresses, with schools<br />

back in session and the work<br />

blues shaken off, the real estate<br />

market has returned to its<br />

regular pace. Listings have<br />

bounced back to levels seen late<br />

last year, with active buyers and<br />

swift property sales.<br />

Notably, many young families in<br />

our area are considering<br />

upsizing after deciding to sit out<br />

the craziness that came with the<br />

post-lockdown boom. With<br />

stabilising prices and interest<br />

rates, there's newfound<br />

confidence to make a move.<br />

If you're contemplating upsizing,<br />

please know I’m here to assist.<br />

My approach is personalised; I<br />

start by understanding your<br />

unique goals. As an independent<br />

agent, I can offer tailored<br />

commission and marketing<br />

packages to suit your needs,<br />

from quick off-market sales to a<br />

full-service package that<br />

includes pre-sale enhancements,<br />

marketing, and building reports.<br />

Whatever your path, let's sit<br />

down and make your next move<br />

not just successful, but<br />

something that feels right for<br />

you and your family.<br />
