Experience the colours of Aotearoa

The Team from Resene ColorShop New Plymouth

Resene is proud to be supporting the 17th annual NZ Art Show - this year with a twist! More than 150 emerging contemporary artists are set to inspire any art collector in this dynamic virtual exhibition.

This new initiative is the brainchild of the show as it embraces the opportunity to continue to support some of NZ’s hottest new artists on the art scene despite the limitations of Covid-19 lockdown.

All artists have been selected by a panel of experts, promising quality and talent deserved of any collection. Art lovers can be assured that they can purchase with confidence, liaising directly with the artists.

Visitors can explore new artworks by some of the show’s favourite and most successful artists including Jane Blackmore, Runa + Holly, Tanya Blong, Joel Hart and Nikki Corbishley while discovering the hottest and newest artists on the NZ Arts scene. Glass works by the talented Richard Landers (a crowd favourite at last year’s show) also feature, alongside contemporary photographic works, exquisite and traditional watercolours, gorgeous florals, and artworks that provoke thought and conversation.

Go to artshow.co.nz where you can browse and purchase hundreds of original artworks all from the comfort of your own home from May 1st. Show your support and help keep the arts alive and active in NZ!

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Citizens Advice - real people, real support

The team from Citizens Advice Bureau New Plymouth

In March, it is CAB Awareness Week! This is when we put a spotlight on the CAB to celebrate our mahi and highlight to the community the support and services we offer.
This year’s theme is ‘Tūturu te tangata, tūturu te tautoko – real people, real support. It reflects the fact that the CAB is a place where people can get help from a real person who will assist them with the questions, issues or challenges they are facing.
We are able to offer this person-to-person assistance because of our trained volunteers working out of our office here in New Plymouth. Our volunteers are the people who deliver our service of information and advice to the public. They volunteer for the CAB because they want to support and empower people and make a difference in people’s lives.
If you need support and don’t know who to ask, or if you would like to give back to the community through volunteering with an organisation whose mahi assists people individually and also benefits the wider community, CAB could be the place for you.
You can contact us by calling 06 758 9542 (or free phone 0800 367 222), by dropping in to see us at 32 Leach Street (no appointment needed), or by contacting us via the CAB website at cab.org.nz.
