Spring has well and truly sprung and we're counting down to daylight savings! If you need some inspiration to take advantage of the warmer weather and get active then look no further than 17-year-old Jade Dalton from Whakatāne. She's been kicking goals by getting active with her whānau.
This week is also Mental Health Awareness Week and the Mental Health Foundation has loads of great resources to help you explore your way to wellbeing, including through physical activity. School holidays are also just around the corner so be sure to check out the events and activities in your area.
