Good People

Thursday, the 16th November is the FINAL EVENING of screenings for WFS for 2023 and it's the delightful Irish comedy, Róise & Frank.

Please come join us and help us finish the year in style.

Note: This film is being shown once only, so please don't miss your chance to see it. Also, there will be no screening at 8pm.

Roise and Frank - ONE NIGHT ONLY - 6pm
Comedy-Drama, Ireland, 2022, 90 mins, PG, Gaelic (English subtitles)
It is two years since Roise lost the love of her life, her husband, Frank. She's still isolated in grief, which cuts her off from the local community.

So the arrival of a mysterious dog, who's intent on living with Roise, is puzzling. It's only after studying him that Roise realises the dog is her beloved Frank, reincarnated.

Freshly inspired, Roise goes about creating a new life for the two of them as her son worries that she's lost her mind.

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?
