CAB Volunteers fundraising for Sweet Louise!

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

๐ŸŽ€ October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. ๐ŸŽ€

CAB volunteers at Pakuranga and Botany are fundraising for Sweet Louise.

Sweet Louise is a charity that offers practical and emotional support for men and women living with incurable breast cancer.

October is a time to reflect on those we love and those impacted by breast cancer. Itโ€™s also a chance to bring hope, care, and support to those who need it most. ๐ŸŒธ

Thank you for standing with us and helping us raise awareness of metastatic breast cancer this Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Together, we bring light, care, and hope.

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weโ€™ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and itโ€™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 โš–๏ธ

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.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? ๐Ÿฅฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅ•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether itโ€™s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donโ€™t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? ๐Ÿซ
