Volunteer options available now

North Shore Community Toy Library NSCTL from North Shore Community Toy Library (NSCTL)

We are looking for people in the community to help. The main thing we need help with is returning toys during our open hours. If you have a responsible teenager or have a parent or grandparent who is retired this would be ideal! We are looking for regular helpers (once a week/fortnight) and people who can be "on call" if we need extra's. If you (or anyone you know) is interested please message or email Sarah at secretary.nsctl@gmail.com

We are also looking for some new committee members if that would be something you could be interested in.We particularly looking for a roster coordinator (2 hours/ month) and a treasurer (1 hour/ week). There is no rush, but out current volunteers have been on for 5-8 years and live has become busy. We offer full training and ongoing support (for accounts we use Xero) and it is a great opportunity for someone to up-skill.

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?
