Kids Athletics starts on Tuesday 16 February!

Promotions Coordinator from Devonport Peninsula Trust

Our 6 week 'have-a-go' style athletics programme where primary school aged kids have the opportunity to try a variety of athletics activities in a non-competitive environment is starting next week, on Tuesday 16th of February!
Activities include: running, jumping, throwing, agility etc.
The programme starts on Tuesday 16th February and runs on consecutive Tuesdays until (and including) Tuesday 23 March.
Attendance is free and casual so there is no need to book in advance. Participants should arrive at the event venue at 4pm, which is the Vauxhall Sports Reserve, also known as the North Shore Rugby Club grounds.
Don't forget to bring your water bottle to avoid getting dehydrated!

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: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
