Halloween Colouring Competition
While we were disappointed to have to postpone the Bayswater Halloween Trail until Friday 1st April 2022, we wanted to provide some fun and entertainment to our local tamariki in the meantime!
Colour or decorate one of our four spooky designs, then display it in your window or somewhere else that is visible from the street, like your fence. Take a photo of your beautiful work and send it in to us via email: devonportcommunity@gmail.com or or upload it to the comments on this Facebook post for a chance to win a prize!
You can download all four designs from the link here:

Or if you don't have a printer at home, there are hard copies available from the Devonport Community House and The Rose Centre.
The winner will be chosen at random and announced on Facebook on 1st November.
Make sure to go for a hīkoi on 31st of October to spot the Halloween colouring in around your neighbourhood!
Lastly, follow the Bayswater Halloween Trail event on Facebook for updates, and don't forget to buy your Halloween costumes now while they are available in shops!
We can't wait to see all your spooky creativity,
The DPT rōpū.

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!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
