SENIORS DAY OUT
đź›’ Pro Tip for Seniors Shopping for One đź’ś
Losing a loved one changes so many daily routines—including grocery shopping. If you're now buying for one instead of two, here are some ways to make it easier:
✨ Shop with a friend – Turn grocery shopping into a social outing to make it feel less overwhelming.
🥦 Buy fresh but in smaller quantities – This helps avoid waste while still enjoying fresh produce.
🛍️ Use the deli & bulk bins – Buy only what you need instead of pre-packaged portions.
🍲 Cook & freeze meals – Prepare meals in advance so you have easy, home-cooked options ready.
💡 Try meal kits or smaller portion services – These can help simplify cooking without excess leftovers.
Most importantly, be kind to yourself—adjusting takes time. 💜

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
88.5% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
11.5% No. This would be impossible in practice.
