Caregivers needed for 8-12 year old boys in Christchurch

We are looking for a caregiver or caregivers in the Christchurch area for 8-12 year old boys who cannot live at home.

Can you invest time and energy to get alongside a child and support them to be the best they can be? We welcome enquiries from people from all walks of life with the skills to provide quality care. The most important thing is you can provide a safe, stable and loving home.

Caregiving can be a big challenge, but it comes with equally big rewards. You will receive support and financial help to meet the day-to-day expenses involved in looking after a child.

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?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
