Could you spare an hour to help?

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Kumeu

Could you spare an hour a week to help a man in his 30s with a disability. He is a capable guy, who just needs a little bit of support and advice to keep things on track.

He loves rugby, tramping, movies and all things mechanical. He is friendly and engaging and leads a busy life with a full time job and a partner. He is looking for someone who can check in with him each week, help him problem solve any issues that come up and help him realise when he has got things under control.

The support would have to be in the evenings or weekends when he isn't working, but we can be pretty flexible about when. The compensation is generous for the right person and if that might be you then we would really love to chat.

If you are interested please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message
Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

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?
