We are one

Viviana Zanetti from Phillipstown Community Hub

One week has already gone.
We have gone through fear, horror, worry,grief, anger.

At the Hub we all stand in support of our Muslim whānau, we are providing spaces and a neutral welcoming place for them to gather after funerals.

The Christchurch Victims Organising Committee is also based at the Hub at the moment. They collect donations, deliver food and other items to the families and are creating a network of support for the victims and their families

There is a strange atmosphere at the Hub,as in the whole city, but one thing is clear: we are stronger and more united than ever.
We are many but we are one.

After consulting with our Muslim whānau, we have decided to go ahead with our Phillipstown Hub Twilight Gala. It will be an opportunity for the whole community to stay together, support and connect after the horrific event that happened last Friday.

With Canterbury Refugee Resettlement and Resource Centre, Purapura Whetu, Ōtautahi Creative Spaces, The Muse Community Music Trust, Mt Pleasant Pottery Group, White Elephant Trust, ICEcycles, Greening the Rubble, Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust, OSCAR Network.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

How much does it cost to join AEA?

There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
