Fundraiser - Junior World Track Champs
Recently local Cambridge resident Alex Schuler was selected to represent NZ at this year's UCI Junior Track World Championships which this year will be held in the Netherlands in August. This is the 2nd year that Alex has been selected to represent NZ, it is an amazing achievement, but once again as a junior rider, this is self-funded. Over the next few months, he will be running various fund-raising events and any support from his local and wider community would be greatly appreciated so that he can actually get there.
Currently Alex has a 'Give a Little Page' and if anyone is in a position to donate, even a little bit, it will go a long way!

Please also feel free to share the page and if anyone is interested in sponsoring Alex, personally or through your business, we would love to hear from you.
Thank you! 🤞
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
