If you like to support the work we do by giving a donation towards petrol costs please give to our covering charitable trust:

In the reference please put WCP and your details so a receipt can be issued to you for tax deductions.
Thanks for your support.

Just to give a heads up on what it costs to run one night in Manurewa, Clendon, Weymouth, Wattle-downs, Alfristion and Takanini is roughly about $40 per night that is 8pm to 6am. (on the average nights)

For direct donations (Petrol into the WCP patrol Wagon)

Again supporting the WCP is vital as we off er the people of Manurewa and surrounding suburbs the only graveyard community patrols and assist emergency services and police in keeping our Hood safe and well.

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?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
