🌟 We are now recruiting volunteers at Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman! 🌟

Lenka Caslavska from Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman

If you are curious about volunteering with us, we would love to hear from you! Training includes supported learning and time alongside an experienced mentor.
β€œI was surprised by the professionalism of the training. I learned so much about our community, and the support from my mentor helped me find my feet.”
– CAB volunteer
As a CAB volunteer, no two days are the same. One moment you might be helping someone understand their rights after buying something, another you might simply be listening while someone works through a tricky situation. We do not tell people what to do – we help them understand their options and find what works best for them.
While our website is available anytime, many people really value talking with someone face to face. That is why our local offices matter so much.
πŸ“ Our current opening times:
β€’ Richmond (main office), 9a Cambridge Street: Monday to Thursday, 9am-4.30pm
β€’ Nelson: Mondays and Fridays, 9am-4.30pm, sharing space with Age Concern, 18 Bridge Street
β€’ Motueka: Thursdays, 9.30am–1pm at the Motueka Library (reopening soon!)
To offer this free service to everyone in our community, we rely on well-trained volunteers.
To receive an information pack please contact us on:
πŸ“§ Email nelsontasman@cab.org.nz
πŸ“ž Phone 03 548 2117
Training begins in March πŸ’›

N8tidy - Same garden. Massive transformation

Fred from N8tidy - Neat by Nature. Tidy by Trade

Big garden transformation completed 🌿✨

We recently finished a garden clean-up with some seriously visible results β€” the kind of change that reminds us why we do what we do.

See walk-in video below (before/after): youtu.be...

At N8tidy, we are fully commited whatever the challenge you have:
πŸ‘‰ showing up on time
πŸ‘‰ working hard
πŸ‘‰ delivering quality results
πŸ‘‰ keeping prices fair and accessible

We genuinely want our Nelson/Tasman community to enjoy tidy, well-cared-for homes and gardens without it costing the earth. Affordable doesn’t mean cutting corners β€” it means caring about the people we work for.

Thanks to everyone supporting local πŸ™

If you’ve got a garden that needs a reset, you know where to find us.
If you have a house that needs regular cleanups or one-off, we will exceeed your expectations in terms of cleanup.

NZ Post and Rachel Boyack

Tony from Tahunanui

I see our MP, Labour’s Rachel Boyack, is shedding crocodile tears over the NZ Post closures announced today for Nelson. Perhaps Rachel has β€˜forgotten’ it was Labour that corporatised NZ Post, intentionally turning it from a service organisation into one focused solely on profit. Her cries would be a little more credible if she could promise Labour would reopen the closed offices or, even better, reverse that Labour-directed profit-only change.
Come on Rachel, what is Labour’s real position - public service or money?

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 β€œunpaid 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?
