COMMUNITY SUPPORT
I'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to the following amazing supporters for their generous contributions:
www.facebook.com... for the Weber BBQ (a fabulous friendly local specialising in house cleans etc)
Duck Island in Takapuna for the scoop vouchers
Bunnings Silverdale for the $50 gift card
Burgerfuel for the free burger and shake vouchers, plus a few other products and services from incredible community members
These contributions are all part of an I AM HOPE fundraiser I’m running for Mental Health Awareness Week this month. If you’d like to get involved by donating your time, products, services, or making a standard donation, please reach out to me.
Join me for a quiz night at Paeroa Brewery on the evening of September 26th (Thursday), with all ticket proceeds going directly to I AM HOPE. Ticket details to be advertised next week.

Thank you so much. Each day, my faith in our community and the incredible people who make it up fills me with hope for future generations and what truly matters in life. If we aren't making a difference in the lives of ourselves and others, what are we really doing?
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.3% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.7% No. This would be impossible in practice.
