Volunteering at Napier Riding for the Disabled
I have been a volunteer at the Napier Riding For the Disabled for over 3 years. I have had quite a few different experiences, helping with horses and leading clients, working on the grounds, mucking out, fundraising and being part of the committee. Now I mainly run the muck pile and a garden. I have found the experience very rewarding and enjoyable. The team at the Riding for the Disabled, managers and other volunteers are very friendly and supportive.
They are still looking for more help so that they can reach more children and adults with physical, intellectual, emotional and social challenges by interactions with horses.
There is more information on the RDA website.

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?
-
60.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated

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

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