DROP-IN COMPUTER HELP FOR WAIKANAE RESIDENTS
Good morning! At Citizens Advice Bureau we see so many Waikanae residents struggling with technology but also with transport to get to computer classes outside Waikanae, and so we are collaborating with Simon and Martine at KCDC Libraries and with the lovely volunteers at SeniorNet and the Cameo Pop-in Centre to run some computer classes in Waikanae - this coming Monday and the next to start with -
We are so excited! Please could you let people who are struggling with technology know about these drop-in sessions at the Cameo for the next couple of weeks?
If they are struggling with their computer or iPad or mobile phone Paraparaumu Library staff are coming to the Cameo Pop-in Centre on Monday 4th and Monday 11th April between 1030am and 1230pm to help so bring in your own devices or learn a bit about computers on the ones at the Cameo rooms - emails, facebook - just about anything you can think of.
These are drop-in sessions so come into Mahara Place, Waikanae (next door to the Professionals) and let us help you - ring Sue on 0275 999 823 if you want to know more.
Please pass the word around - we are aiming at residents who won't be using social media so we'll advertise on the radio and "what's on" as well, but word-of-mouth is the best of all -
Thank you so much 😊😊😊
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
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.
