John Gillon from

Get ready for Dino Hunt 2020!
If you and your family enjoyed hunting for fairy doors, get ready for Dino Hunt 2020!
From Saturday 19 September until 18 October, search 80 of our parks, playgrounds and community centres for dinosaurs! Pick up a form from your local community centre, or print it out the attached picture.

Record the numbers on the dinosaurs and enter the competition (or just find them for fun!).
And please remember social distancing rules when exploring and to wash/sanitise your hands.

A huge thankyou to Kaipatiki Community Facilities Trust, Bayview Community Centre, Birkdale Beach Haven Community Project, Glenfield Community Centre and Highbury Community House.

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?
