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

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

Please don’t laugh, but my puppy is devoted to this squeaky toy! I believe I got it from a two dollar shop originally and I have scoured them all but I cannot find it again. Have tried Temu and all the usual places.
I believe it is a warthog and he would be lost without it!!

Please don’t laugh, but my puppy is devoted to this squeaky toy! I believe I got it from a two dollar shop originally and I have scoured them all but I cannot find it again. Have tried Temu and all the usual places.
I believe it is a warthog and he would be lost without it!!

If your dog does have one in his toybox which he no longer plays with, or you know where I can buy the exact same toy, I’m prepared to pay $20 for it as my dog would be distraught if his warthog loses its squeak or gets punctured!

Please text Cherry on 02102518818 if you can help! Thank you….

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
