Invitation to free public forum on “Safety in your home”…

Wendy Richards from Volunteering New Plymouth

This Thursday – 19th June at the NP District Council
The event, as usual, will start at 9:30am with coffee and tea available beforehand and is intended to allow a time for questions and finish at 11 am.

We sometimes forget that the Fire and Emergency Service, the Ambulance Service and to a lesser extent our Police force, are only really made viable by the huge amount of work and hours that are performed by the largely unsung volunteer heroes within our communities around the country.

Representatives from the Police, Fire Service and neighbourhood Watch will be presenting

On behalf of NP Positive Ageing, Age Concern Taranaki, Grey Power NP and of course, the NP District Council

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?
