Open "Y-Art Studio" and Gallery - Watercolours by Therese

Therese from Burnside

A wonderful, rare opportunity!

I am a local watercolour artist who is passionate about New Zealand birds and landscapes. I paint in my studio at home, which is located at the end of a picturesque cottage garden path.

From tomorrow (Tues 24) until Sunday (29 Jan), I will be opening my art studio to the public for the first time. A small gallery is set up in my studio to display some of the work that I do.

You are most welcome to come along and see some of my work, and find out what has inspired me to paint.

Viewing:- Tues 24 to Sun 29 January, 10am – 3pm.
Location: - 60 Greers Road (close to Memorial Ave), Burnside, Christchurch. Parking on the street.

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?
