Get Involved: Calling All Volunteers
🌱 Manawa Karioi Winter Working Bees 🌱
Join us to care for our ngahere and reconnect with the whenua 🌿
Every Sunday in June and August, 1pm–3pm (except June 1)
📍 Meet at the Tapu Te Ranga Marae Carpark – end of Danube Street, Island Bay, Wellington
Important Notes:
Sunday 1 June – No Working Bee (King’s Birthday Weekend – public holiday)
Sunday 29 June – Bird Survey Special!
This Working Bee falls during the NZ Garden Bird Survey. You’ll have the chance to contribute by spending an hour observing and recording birds across Manawa Karioi. A great way to support bird conservation in Aotearoa – we’ll provide instructions and recording sheets.
🌧 Rain or shine – we’ll be out there planting, maintaining tracks, and enjoying the ngahere.
🧤 Tools, gloves, and good vibes provided – just bring yourself (and a friend!).
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?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated
