Instruments needed

Sonja from Te Atatu South

Hi everyone, I run a community ensemble up in Northland, and I would like to know if there is anyone here with an old, unused instrument (like trumpets/violins/etc) at home that they would like to donate to the Kaipara Ensemble. We are also in need of a snare drum. We have several students who does not have the money for a new instrument and is missing out on the opportunity to learn because of this. If you have an instrument and are unsure if we could have use for it, please give me a shout. If you would like to get in touch, please email me at maestromusic1@outlook.com or phone 0210686834.
Thank you kindly,
Sonja

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?
