Happy 2026

Jane from Naenae

Hello Neighbours,hope every one has had a great start to the new year.Im meant to be on holiday but cant avoid the plea for help.Took some left over bbq we had today to a family who needed something for their tea.I was shocked to see the solo mother an her 4 children had no table an chairs to eat off, an barely anything else in the house. Clothes neatly folded on the floor of the kiddies room,as there were no drawers to put them in.Mattresses on the floor is their bed,an more needs because the mother was too proud to ask for help,until she saw our Free bbq.Tomorrow we will pick up most of what they need, except table an chairs.If you hava set you are not using I would gladly pick up for them.Lets start their New Year off by giving an hopefully the rest of the year will be fruitful for them an many others.Thanku Neighbours and a Happy 2026.

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?
