Help Us Move – Going…. Going…. But NOT GONE!

Lenka Caslavska from Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman

📢It is us needing your help this time!
Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman main office is going to a new home.🚛💨 We’re going to need your contribution to help us move & make our new space welcoming!
🔹 Why Are We GOING?
After 20 years, our current cottage 🏚️ is to be demolished. While we’re grateful to Nelson City Council for many years of low rent, we couldn’t find anything similarly affordable in Nelson city.
🔹 Where Are We GOING?
We’re going to Cambridge St in Richmond, near the old Town Hall, into a building leased to us by the TDC at an affordable rate. 🏛️ We’re grateful for their support in helping us keep our services accessible to the community!
🔹 Are you GOING to help us?
Every donation helps keep CAB Nelson Tasman a welcoming and accessible place for anyone in need of free information and support. 🤝💡 We rely entirely on grants and donations—we are an independent organization and receive no government funding.
💙 Every dollar helps! No donation is too small—every contribution gets us closer to making our new home a reality. 🏠✨
🙏 Thank you for being part of our community and supporting this important move!
💰Use of your funds:
🔹 Relocation expenses-safely moving our resources and furniture.
🔹 Setting up a functional and welcoming space for visitors and volunteers.
🔹 Upgrading technology to continue providing seamless service.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
