Christmas Blessings and Farewell for now
Hi Neighbours
The Crosslight Trust is moving out of the "home" we have occupied for nearly 30 years. We are very sad to be leaving but we don't have the choice. Crosslight is going into recess for at least a year or two.
We feel so very blessed to have had the privilege of being available to thousands of people over the years and thank all those of you who have either been volunteers, customers, donors, members of our groups and programmes, supporters and those who have come in for food parcel assistance or other help. For food parcel enquiries please contact the Vinnies 07 847 4044 who are the next closest for people living in the Dinsdale/Nawton/Crawshaw areas.
From all of us at Crosslight we wish you blessings for a very happy, safe, healthy, and relaxing Christmas and holiday time.
Derelict Tokanui Hospital site in line for a clean-up
Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.
The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
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!
-
24.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated
