Yippee.... Its that time of the year again - and we're delighted to be hosting the Community Christmas day lunch again.

Carol Winters from Age Concern Havelock North

Yes, we're over the moon that once again we can deliver this year's Community Christmas Day lunch again. Due to overwhelming support from some local businesses, the big day is on again!


We've got a magnificent team on the job, Santa's sleigh bells are starting to ring, the hams are on their way and plenty of happy people are on the list to come along.


What I'd love you all to do is pass the message onto anyone you feel could do with some company, or needs a helping hand at what can otherwise be a time of the year that's a bit overwhelming. The details are on the leaflet here.


We have enough volunteers already and thanks to those who have offered their time - you're truly amazing.


For those already booked in, you're in for the time of your life! We can't wait.

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?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
