Working with people is one of the great joys of being a CAB volunteer. When volunteers are asked what they love most about being involved with CAB, is that no two days are the same.
CAB NP is currently looking for more volunteers. Volunteers are fully supported with initial and ongoing learning as they come up to speed with the challenges and pleasures of being a volunteer. You will also be supported by a huge range of resources including a referral database listing 35,000 organisations.
Its great to be actively involved in our community, using our knowledge and experience to help people and having a bit of a laugh together sometimes as well.
if you are interested, please call 06 7589542 or email newplymouth@cab.org.nz. Alternatively, call in at 32 Leach street to say hello. We would love to hear from you.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
