Help Us Move – Going…. Going…. But NOT GONE!
📢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.
Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.

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!
