Thank you very much for your kind hearts!
Our CAB Helensville volunteers are absolutely priceless. As we finish off this National Volunteer Week, we have had a time of food and gifts, including special surprises for those who have gained their five and 10 year accreditations with more to come. When our team is all back on track from holidays and illness we aim to celebrate with a mid-winter Christmas lunch next month. May everyone enjoy their Matariki weekend!
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?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
88% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
12% No. This would be impossible in practice.

Real Estate Done Right! 🏡✨
A great real estate experience starts with the right agent! Here’s what my clients say about working with me:
💬 “Nicky Horsbrough wins the sale
My wife and I have tried for some time with other agents to sell our 2 x sections in the Helensville area without success.
Nicky took on the challenge of the sale. It did take some time, but Nicky was tenacious, and in the end, we have a successful sale of both properties.
We would certainly recommend Nicky.
Thank you, Nicky.”
Thinking of buying or selling? Let’s get you the best result!
