CAB Pakuranga celebrates its volunteers!

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

💛 We finally caught up with the last of our volunteers who missed our special Volunteer Week presentation a few weeks ago.

Brenda - second from left - is seen here smiling happily holding her very special recognition certificate. Brenda’s certificate reads “For outstanding support of our Social Team, coordinating and managing Volunteer Social Events and CAB meetings.”

Brenda is flanked by (left) Louise (Pakuranga Manager), (right) Tricia (Admin) and Cat (Life Member)

Each year we present a few certificates to recognise volunteers who have made an outstanding contribution. These get spread around the volunteers from year to year. All of our volunteers are absolute stars! ⭐

Congratulations again to all of our fantastic volunteers! 👏 👏 👏

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

(Trev from Tamatea kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Trev!)

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
