Help the Victoria Theatre Trust

Libby Boyd from The Victoria Theatre Trust

🎭 Help Us Keep The Vic Thriving for Generations to Come
The Victoria Theatre Trust is a separate charitable entity from The Vic Ltd, which operates the cinema. While The Vic Ltd brings stories to life on screen, the Trust works tirelessly behind the scenes to preserve and maintain the 113-year-old heritage building and upgrade costly cinema equipment.
We rely entirely on donations and community support to restore, upgrade, and protect this valuable community asset. Right now, we urgently need funds to replace the worn and tired seats to ensure comfort and accessibility for all.

✨ Your donation will help us:
• Install new, comfortable seating
• Improve the cinema experience for audiences of all ages
• Support the ongoing preservation of this iconic building
Whether you’re a regular at The Vic or a supporter of local heritage, your contribution makes a real difference

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?
