Friendship and Support for Men

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

If you are male and looking for friendship you should find your local Men's shed.

What is a Men’s Shed?
A shed brings men together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh, and work on practical tasks individually (personal projects) or as a group (for the shed or community). To find your local branch follow the link under 'Read More' where you can check out more than 25 branches across Canterbury.

Canterbury Men's Centre
If you are needing more support then the Canterbury Men's Centre may be for you. Their mission is that all Canterbury men are supported to lead fulfilling lives in their families/whānau and communities. They provide counselling and support. Check under 'Read More' for a link to their website.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
