Nice Neighbour

Michelle from Linton

What is the point of nominating for nice neighbour? I nominated someone ages ago, they won and it has never been printed in the paper and they have never received their prezzy card. I messaged stuff and they said it went to print which is rubbish as I check the paper every week and like I said, the person never received their prize either. I messaged them again to ask if they had sent out the prezzy card and have had no reply. This is such an embarrassment! Can Neighbourly actually do anything about this? Very disappointed for the person that won, and makes me look like a fool 😣

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?
