To those who have supported us in the past a very ‘big thank you😊’ This is a new initiative. We are asking our supporters to host a fundraising event in the month of August and to share the message with your whanau/family and friends. Here are some fundraising ideas-
· Host a ‘Dress yellow’ Work/ Home Day
· Organise a Gold Coin Donation Mufti Day at school/kindy or preschool
· Hold a bake sale
· Organise a sausage sizzle, quiz night or movie night
· Host a morning/afternoon tea or dinner
· Dye your hair yellow/or wear a yellow wig and some are shaving their hair

Your event will help Paint August Yellow, raise critical funds needed to support the work of the Cancer Society and send a powerful message that no one should go through cancer alone.

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?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.8% ... It is complicated
