Be the Light for vulnerable animals this Holiday Season ✨

SPCA - Taupo Centre

This Christmas, while many are enjoying some time away, we're looking for special people who are staying home and can open their homes to a foster animal or two. Spread some holiday cheer and get some cuddles in return!

Before the end of December, SPCA is expecting to take over 3000 vulnerable cats and kittens into care. Many of these will need time in a foster home to heal, learn and grow.

Please, if you are staying home during the holidays sign up to become a foster parent. Your support is invaluable!

We cover all expenses and provide training. All you need to give is your love and time. Make a Difference this Season!

Open your heart and home to a kitten. If you're not quite ready yet, please get in touch. Every bit helps spread warmth and love this holiday season. Sign up today!

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?
