Auckland mum sets up social group so younger queer children can 'be themselves'

Mildred Armah Reporter from Central Leader

Jessica Singh's ​son was 9 when he came out as gay. It was then Singh realised, there was a lack of support available for queer children.

“My son came out as gay quite young and there was nothing available for him to connect with other peers. He didn't have anyone in his primary school that was openly gay or queer.”

She is now the programme facilitator of a new social group named Rainbow Rangatahi, which aims to support queer children aged 14 and under, based in Auckland's Gribblehirst community hub.

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?
