Movember

Patrick Koot from Elusion Electrical Ltd

Men's health is really important to the team of Elusion Electrical. We all know someone with mental health issues of prostate or testicular cancer.

While we don't normally share posts or fundraising this is Shans best friends fundraising for Movember.

For those who don't know her Sarah Donovan is the amazing talent behind Adelphi Fine Chocolate www.adelphifinechocolate.co.nz...
And when she is not working her magic in the chocolate kitchen (available online, riccarton bush markets and Riverside collective) she is being the best best friend, and supporting our whole family including helping run around after our children . We honestly couldn't be without her.

So this month Sarah is running 100km to raise money for men's health ..link below if you would like to help us support her.

Elusion will also be making donation to this cause.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Addictive Eaters Anonymous

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom

I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.

Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.

With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
