Play a guessing game and help me fundraise for a great cause

Roanna from Botany Downs

Hi all,
Hope you're all staying well and safe during the lockdown.
I've been doing origami to pass the time and got an idea to try and raise funds for a charity I support - HELP Auckland.
Help me help them, and have a little fun with this origami crane guessing game: act2help.everydayhero.com...
A lot of non-profit organisations will have their operations affected by the lockdown and I want to do my part to support them.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity :)

The crane is a symbol of hope, happiness and healing. For people who have been hurt by sexual violence, HELP Auckland is there to support them, give them hope and provide a way forward, towards healing and happiness.
During the lockdown, there will be many survivors of sexual abuse who will continue to need HELP Auckland’s support. Their crisis and therapy services help survivors to deal with their trauma and take care of their mental wellbeing.
Be kind and stay safe everyone! We can get through this together.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

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?
