Applications for community funding has closed

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

This year’s applications for Te Awarua-o-Porirua Harbour and Wairarapa Moana community group funding have now closed. We’re so pleased to have received a record number of applications that met the criteria this year! Thank you everyone!

This means we’re going to need a little more time to review them all. We will announce the successful applications on 1 December 2018. Check the funding page on our website on that date and our social media channels for updates!

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?
