Are you a family struggling this Christmas? We have a half ham to donate to a deserving family

Karen from Nawton

Hi everyone. Every Christmas as a family we choose to do something for somebody else in need. This Christmas we have decided to give one deserving family who may be struggling at this time of year half a champagne ham. We will also drop this off to your family if you are in the Hamilton area.

You don’t need to post your reasons but please only please show interest if you are a family who may not be able to have ham or meat on Christmas Day.

We believe in paying it forward and doing some good for others at a time when it can be so stressful. If you are interested, please reply or nominate somebody else and our children will choose the recipient. Merry Christmas everybody and pay it forward!!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
