Need a spruce up around the house? Require a babysitter? Dog walker? Look no further!
My teenager is off school for the summer and has been seeking work with no joy so far, it's a tough world out there! She is offering her services to give your house a good once over....Her offer includes a full vacuum and dust of all rooms (even moving furniture where she can!), floor clean, full bathroom and toilet clean, skirting boards wiped down, those sneaky cobwebs on the ceiling wiped away, all kitchen surfaces and cupboard doors wiped down. She is honest and reliable, she will use your cleaning equipment and leave the place sparkly fresh. I can vouch for her personally! For this service there would be a one off charge of $35. If you would like to hire her for the day to do a clean plus some additional jobs she would charge $50 for the day. She is also available to babysit day or night and to walk your dog at great rates. So if you want some help around the house then please leave me your number and I will get in touch with you straight away :)
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Earth Emotions Silent Auction
Monday 16th February - Monday 2nd March
Bid on a special collection of 20 unframed prints by local photographers from an exhibition called Earth Emotions.
Glenn Allbrecht's book, Earth Emotions, inspired Ann Wheatley, Emma Jane Hughes and Peter Kemp to create a local exhibition exploring the health of our soils, waters, forests, and people, with support from the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and the Nelson City Council.
Forty-seven photographers responded to an open call, contributing over 100 images. A selection of these was exhibited at the Refinery Art Space.
The photographers have donated 20 exhibition prints to raise funds for the hospice.
