Feilding Repair Cafe
NEWS from the FEILDING REPAIR CAFE team - next event is this coming Saturday Oct 19 and, with Janet our book mender and David and Irene on sewing machine fixing, it looks as if we have a full team on board for our final event for 2024. So 10am - noon at the Senor Hub at 14 Bowen St.
ON another note FEILDING now has 3 drop off points to recycle empty medicine blister packs - Feilding and District Art Society and the Coach House Museum in South St have joined the Manawatū District Council. A huge thank you these community organisations trying to reduce waste.
Hope to see you with your items to fix and there will be a medicine blister pack recycling box at this Saturday's Repair CAFE
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:

59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
