Not everyone is looking forward to Christmas.
Right now, kiwi families are facing some really big challenges, and many find themselves struggling to make ends meet. This means not everyone is looking forward to Christmas.
This Christmas, give the gift of hope. By donating $40, you have the opportunity to feed a family in need through a Christmas Box filled with food basics and treats. 100% of your donation goes directly to filling the box, which provides not only food essentials but much-needed hope.
Only together, can we bring hope to the table across Aotearoa.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
