Speaker : Jessica Finucane of Big Brothers Big Sisters. This organisation offers quality mentoring relationships for young people in New Zealand. Their mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of youth through professionally supported mentoring relationships. They provide tamariki (young kiwi kids) with a trained mentor. They match young people between the age of 6 and 12 years with a mentor until the young person turns 18. See bigbrothersbigsisters.org.nz...

The cost is as listed above for all coming to the meeting.
Illegal dumping
This is awful how people just disregard bylaws. dump their rubbish in parks and waterways to try get away with having to pay dumping costs at the rubbish dumps and transfer stations. This also can cause flooding again due to blocking the grate of the culvert in Princes street. No thought for neighbours or damage that can be caused by their actions.
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
51.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
32.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
