Dance Yourself Happy

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

We're just as keen as you are for Dance Yourself Happy to Spring back into the groove.
However, the guidelines for COVID-19 Level 2.5 restrictions are somewhat confusing for Dance Yourself Happy. We are unsure whether our sessions fall into the category of a social gathering or likened to a gym.
For all intents and purposes, we're taking an err-on-the-side-of-caution approach to resuming Dance Yourself Happy. Therefore, this Thursday's (3 September), session will not go ahead.
A restart date for the Dance Yourself Happy 2020 season will be reviewed after the Prime Minister's scheduled COVID-19 Level update on Sunday 6 September.
Mari Pettersson and MECOSS thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you all back at Dance Yourself Happy in the very near future.
Stay safe, keep your distance, wash your hands and wear your masks.

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?
