Keyboard to borrow

Katie from Takapuna

Kia ora neighbours!
I really want to get back in to playing the piano. I grew up learning to play until I was a teenager, then I stopped because a progressive vision impairment meant seeing the sheet music became impossible. I got sad and frustrated (as teenagers do) and gave it up, and I've barely touched a piano in fifteen years. Since then I've learned how to manage my vision loss and figure out work arounds, I really want to try pick it up again before the knowledge is totally gone. I am wondering if anyone might have a keyboard that isn't being used that I might can borrow for a short time (from a few weeks to a few months- anything!) so I can give it a good try to see if I can do this before buying one of my own. I will take excellent care of it. Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Katie

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?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
