Where community and staff come together
A caring community is one that’s there for us in good times, and in our times of need. That’s the community Hoko and Glenda found at Diana Isaac Retirement Village in Christchurch.
“The staff are absolutely amazing,” explains Glenda. “They go out of their way to speak to you, to make sure you’re ok.”
Hoko and Glenda feel very fortunate for the support they received when Hoko experienced some health issues. It wasn’t just the village staff who provided support, the whole community rallied around them.
“When I got sick the community itself looked after me,” Hoko explains.
“I can’t speak highly enough of the staff here,” Glenda says.
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!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.6% ... It is complicated
Helping local tradies stay on top of admin
Hi neighbours 👋
I’m Ollie from Your Tradie Support, based here in Stratford and helping tradies across NZ with the admin side of running their business.
A lot of tradies are brilliant at the work itself but end up doing quotes, invoicing and paperwork late at night after being on the tools all day — that’s where I help.
I don’t do bookkeeping — I help keep the day-to-day admin organised so everything runs smoother and easier.
If you know a local tradie who’s drowning in paperwork or always behind on invoices, feel free to point them my way 🙂
Always happy to chat and help where I can.
