Summer Tote Bag-Making Workshops this Thursday and Saturday at Papakura Museum!

Kelsey from Papakura

Still looking for things to do with the kids these school holidays? Why not come along to Papakura Museum's Summer Tote Bag-Making workshops this week?

We have TWO sessions running this week - one on Thursday 10th January, and the other on Saturday 12th January. Both sessions run from 1:00 - 3:00 pm, and give participants a chance to learn a new skill on genuine vintage sewing machines!

And best of all, the cost of the workshop is heavily subsidised at $10.00 per person.

If you would like to book, please come and see us, or contact Kelsey on (09) 298 2003 and/or education@papakuramuseum.org.nz.

We hope to see you there! ✨

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?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
