I am looking for laptops or tablets that are either working or not.

My aim is to repair if possible and move on to those in need.

I have no intention of profiting from these. I only try to gain reimbursement for any costs associated with the repairs ... ie. replacing screens, mainboards, hard drives etc.

I also wipe the hard drives removing all evidence of any previous owner and reinstall operating systems such as Windows.

If you have any that you are willing to part with please call me or send a text to 022 3243695 and I will gladly collect from you.

Thank you
Nigel Bailey

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?
