Volunteers needed for Refugee Driver Training

Amie Maga from Migrant Action Trust

"I can't forget last year's lockdown. It was hard to find someone to take me to buy food and supplies." - message from a single mother who got restricted licence through the Open Road Refugee Driver Training Programme

A big THANK YOU again to all our volunteer mentors who made a huge difference helping our learners to be test ready. It means a lot for them to gain independence and stay mobile for essential trips through lockdown and beyond.



We welcome new volunteer driver mentors as we gear to safely resume driving sessions for our refugee whānau at level 2. Check out resources drive.govt.nz... and know more about being a mentor here www.openroad.org.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
