Volunteer options available now
We are looking for people in the community to help. The main thing we need help with is returning toys during our open hours. If you have a responsible teenager or have a parent or grandparent who is retired this would be ideal! We are looking for regular helpers (once a week/fortnight) and people who can be "on call" if we need extra's. If you (or anyone you know) is interested please message or email Sarah at secretary.nsctl@gmail.com
We are also looking for some new committee members if that would be something you could be interested in.We particularly looking for a roster coordinator (2 hours/ month) and a treasurer (1 hour/ week). There is no rush, but out current volunteers have been on for 5-8 years and live has become busy. We offer full training and ongoing support (for accounts we use Xero) and it is a great opportunity for someone to up-skill.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
