MECOSS Services Update

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

The Government has decided to extend Alert Level 2.5 in Auckland and to also keep the rest of the country at Alert Level 2.
The continuation of suspended MECOSS services include:
1). Dance Yourself Happy
2). Manukau East Shopping Shuttle
3). Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meeting
Cabinet will review the settings again on Monday 21 September with a view to increasing gathering limits in Auckland ( if it is safe), which would come into effect at midnight on 23 September.
We will advise you as soon possible whether the new settings will allow the MECOSS AGM to go ahead on Thursday 1 October.

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?
