The Pink Campervan is coming to Manawatu-Wairarapa !

Pink Caravan Education & Awareness - Palmerston North

Each year our breast health nurses travel around New Zealand in our iconic Pink Campervan, to talk about mammograms, offer advice about checking your breasts, healthy lifestyles and family risk.

Our nurses have valuable advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options. The breast care nurses have visual and hands-on displays of breast cancer symptoms that most haven’t seen before, and will use prosthetic breasts to show what a lump feels like.

Our breast nurses would love to have a chat to you so pop in and say hi. We’ll be at the locations below on the following dates:

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?
