Transition Town Lower Hutt - Consumers Anonymous Meeting

Alisa from Normandale

Spreading the Message: Join us at 7.30pm, Tuesday 26th March at Alicetown Community Centre to discuss how we might spread the word more widely and reach out to involve more people in discussing and acting on the issues of unnecessary personal consumption, and the system that feeds it. The first thing we’ll do is work on “elevator pitches” for both Consumers Anonymous and Transition Town Lower Hutt as a whole.
FYI: Consumers Anonymous is a support group for people who know they’re addicted to unnecessary consumption, but just can’t kick the habit. We meet monthly, usually on the fourth Tuesday, and discuss at least one major consumption topic. Facebook Event: www.facebook.com...

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?
