Soroptimists providing North Shore Women an Educate to Lead Award

Sylvia Heywood from Soroptimist International North Shore

This is a unique education grant in partnership with Soroptimist International San Diego for women who provide the primary financial support for their families.

The award will support a woman who is the primary financial carer for their family; and gives some financial support to further their education, skills and employment prospects in the future. The recipient may use the funds provided in any way which directly supports her costs to support her to attain higher education skills or formal qualifications. This may include, but is not restricted to fees, books, transport or tuition, therefore enabling the recipient to focus on her studies rather than the challenge of some of the costs involved.

Applications close 15 August.

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?
