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 />
