Help me help others!

Vicki from Papamoa Beach

Due to past circumstances, I have a complete second hand shop in storage. I have all the fittings and stock to set up immediately. As I cannot afford to re open it as a business, I would like to set it up as an opportunity shop to benefit local charities. Is there any one with a space I could set up the shop for free for a few months until it became established? As I want to benefit Papamoa charities, I would prefer to be situated between Owens plc at Bayfair, and Papamoa East. The space does not have to be flash, but needs to be dry and safe with reasonable lighting and accessability. Please ph Vicki on 0211144421

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
