It Takes a Village Hub New Zealand

Maria from Leeston

Please share our give a little page!

Our charity has helped over 230 families in the past 12 months, but we are desperately short of consumable items. Many of us purchase items for these bundles ourselves, because the demand is far outweighing our donations.

A $2 donation will get a set of knife/fork/spoon, or a packet of wipes.

A $10 donation will get an eating set of plate/bowl/cup and knife/fork/spoon

A $20 donation will get us nappies, soap, shampoo and all of the above.

EVERY donation, no matter how small will help a family, and we would be so grateful!

Jess, Maria,Emma and Diane 💜

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: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.

With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
