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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
