Humanitarian support for people on temporary visas - find out more!

The Team from New Zealand Red Cross

It's been just over a week since people on temporary visas (work, student, visitor, RSE) were able to access support through our Visitor Care Manaaki Manuhiri service, and we've been so touched by the response of people who've already received help ❤️
Some shared that this support will help them get through until they are able to get on their flight booked home. People have also told us how they helped their whānau apply, others explained that this support will enable them to survive while they search for work during these difficult times.
If you, or someone you know, is on a temporary visa and is really struggling right now, you can head to www.redcross.org.nz... to find out what assistance is provided and how to apply.

Poll: 🗑️ Would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
