Waikanae Arts and Crafts Society

Jocelyn from Waikanae

It is with great sadness that we advise we have lost one of our long standing members. Helen Humphries was well into her 90’s and had been a member of WACS for around 16 years. She was very independent, very sharp and rattled off the cryptic crossword every morning. Spinning was her favourite craft and she brought in her spinning wheel on a regular basis. We were very fond of her and she will be greatly missed.
Her service was on Wednesday in Lower Hutt

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED

Gary from Waikanae

Our grandson (20) recently moved to Kapiti from Taranaki and is looking for accommodation. Anything considered.
He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.
