Andy Ellis talks about NZ's Mental Health

Our speaker Andy Ellis, is one of our newest members who was inducted today! He is responsible for running about 30 different government websites related to social harm and mental health issues and he has taken a leadership role across a number of different health campaigns.

As an IT professional with real life experience of our mental health system, he brings his skill set of software development, marketing and digital technologies to help to ease the strain on the current mental health system. But how can technology help? One in four of us experience mental health challenges at some stage in their lives. It’s part of being human. But we have such a shortage of health professionals with long wait times for services, using technology for good can reduce the demand and ease some of the pressure.

Climate Change

Dr Richard Levy’s profile says that he is a glacial stratigrapher and paleoclimatologist with expertise in microfossil analysis. His research primarily focuses on the evolution of Earth’s climate system over the past 40 million years in the mid to high southern latitudes.

Essentially there isn’t much about climate change that Dr Richard doesn’t know about. He is currently the Programme Leader – NZ SeaRise Programme at GNS.

With the politicians around the world heading to COP26 to save us all from climate change oblivion, it’s worth taking the time to look at where we are at.

District 9940 Governor Mark Wheeler

District Governor Mark’s presentation was very focussed on the future of Rotary and a number of significant changes that are currently up for discussion. The next six months will be critical for the Club to fully understand the changes proposed. We have the opportunity to provide feedback through our Area Governors and to vote on the changes during the first half of 2022.

A DASH ACROSS THE COUNTRY

July 8 2020

Our ambulance is on the way to Samoa. Driver Darryl and navigator Rick took the Samoa bound ambulance on the first leg of its trip to Apia. What was expected to be an uneventful and well-planned drive through to Auckland on Thursday turned out to be a series of small challenges.

House of Grace

Posted on Dec 15, 2019

The Rotary Club of Port Nicholson continues to support The House of Grace Trust which provides a home for pregnant young teens to live, learn, prepare for childbirth and make plans for their future. Club members provided gifts for young Mums, their babies, pantry supplies and for the live-in supervisors. President, David Shackleton and Past President Bev Wells were delighted to deliver these items to the hard-working staff and volunteers of the House. Members of the Trust are very appreciative of Rotary’s generosity which they said provides a positive impact on young Mums and their babies.

Earlier in the year the club provided $10,000 towards their Warm Home Project to re-roof and insulate the house situated in the greater Wellington region. We are proud to have a long association with the House of Grace Trust providing support for this much-needed initiative.
