Companion Walking – Volunteers Needed

Steph Deegan from Age Concern Wellington Region

We’re reaching out to the local communities around Porirua and Mana as we have a number of older people in the area needing a companion to walk with.
We’d love to hear from you if you:
• Enjoy walking, fresh air & companionship
• Can spare one or two daytime hours each week
• Have a genuine empathy with older people
• Are keen to make a real difference to the lives of others

For more details about our Companion Walking Service or to sign up to become a volunteer, please visit our website: www.acwellington.org.nz...

Or call 04 499 6646 or email cws@acwellington.org.nz

Our team are looking forward to hearing from you.

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?
