CAB Awareness week

Alison McKone from Citizens Advice Bureau Lower Hutt

Daily life can sometimes bring us questions, issues and challenges that are tricky to deal with on our own. It’s good to have a place to go where you can get help with this stuff, where it won’t cost you anything, and the help is confidential and non-judgemental.

CAB is that place. We will awhi you (show support) with information and advice and connect you with any specialist services you may need. We will help you understand what your rights are and can help you with your next steps.



It doesn’t matter what your issue is – employment, renting, a relationship matter, an immigration issue, or a consumer problem – we’re here to help you.



You can contact us through our CAB freephone number 0800 367 222, pop in to see us at cnr Queens Drive & LaingsRoad (no appointment needed) or visit our website at cab.org.nz to kōrero (speak) with us online or email us.



We have a team of trained CAB volunteers delivering our service of information and advice to the public. This means when you come to us for help, you get to speak with a real person if you want to.



You don’t have to be a New Zealand citizen or resident to get help from us. We’re here for everyone.



No matter who you are; if you need help and don’t know who to ask – ask us!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
