Wheelchair accessible seesaw to life at Raumanga Park in Whangārei

Glen from Central Whangarei

Children with Disability NZ is currently amid a heartwarming fundraising campaign, aiming to bring an accessible seesaw to life at Raumanga Park in Whangārei. What sets these seesaws apart is their remarkable accessibility, catering not only to wheelchair users but also embracing a world of possibilities for all children. Our organisation is enhancing the lives and prospects of disabled children and young adults. We invite you to join us in our mission by donating to help us reach our goal.
In addition to our fundraising efforts, we're excited to share an engaging e-book, a fusion of brochure and book, presented in an innovative flipbook format. You can access it effortlessly by clicking the provided web link, where you can conveniently read it on your device or download the PDF. We're delighted to introduce "The Joyful Balance: Wheelchair-Accessible Seesaw in Whangarei" to you, a testament to the joy and inclusivity we aim to bring to our Whangārei community.

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?
