Little Free (DVD) Library - Belt Rd, ANZAC Day

Iain from Lynmouth - Moturoa

Good morning my neighbours, on this special day in New Zealand's heart I have added some DVD's that show both the horror of war and the bravery and camaraderie of the men and women who risk their lives on our behalf.

Be kind to each other...

"At this hour, on this day, ANZAC received its baptism of fire and became one of the immortal names in history. We who are gathered here think of the comrades who went out with us to battle but did not return. We feel them still near us in spirit. We wish to be worthy of their great sacrifice. Let us, therefore, once again dedicate ourselves to the service of the ideals of which they died. As the dawn is even now about to pierce the night, so let the memory inspire us to work for the coming of the new light into the dark places of the world.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left to grow old; Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them. '

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.
