Jammies in June 2019

The Team from Howick Village Association

This year, we are proud to participate in the 'Jammies in June' Middlemore Foundation project.

Within Howick Village, there are five collection points organised which will welcome all donations for new children's flannelette/winter pyjamas, as well as other necessities such as beanies, scarves, nighties, socks, mittens and gloves.

Children living in disadvantaged communities are three times more likely to end up in hospital with winter illnesses so small practical steps, even as something as simple like a warm night's sleep, can set them up for healthier and brighter futures.

To donate to this cause, feel free to visit the below locations:

Howick Information Centre (115 Picton St)
Howick Village Optometrists (94 Picton St)
Picton Street Alterations (52 Picton St)
Howick Village Business Association (12 Central Tce)
LJ Hooker Real Estate (49 Picton Street)

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

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?
