Horse's Birthday Party
Whakatu RDA horses' birthday party last Saturday was a great success on a lovely, sunny day. There was a good turn out of people to meet the horses, watch displays of the work they do, enjoy the food that volunteers had brought in and get their names down for some great raffles.
The Nelson Freemason lodges also took the opportunity to present Whakatu RDA with a cheque for over $4,000 raised by Lodge members and to be used to carry out long overdue fencing and paddock improvements. Thank you to the Freemasons Nelson and NZ from us all at Whakatu RDA.
We are always in need of more funds to help care for our ten or so horses and ensure they are always ready and fit for their disabled riders. Any donation, however small, is always welcome and can be easily done through our givealittle site.
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?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
