Meet Gideon!
MEET GIDEON 👋🏼 our Neighbours Day Aotearoa Community Connector based in Te Moana-a-Toi / Bay of Plenty.
Gideon has called Mount Maunganui home since the beginning of 2020 and there's no place he'd rather be - less traffic and access to the most glorious nature in Aotearoa!
"I am an advocate for the community and believe food is what brings us together! I value the importance of food as the primary tool for the re-education of our children and how we engage with our everyday world. Oh, and I was also Masterchef 2015 Top 16 finalist, which is part of the reason I have found my purpose and calling in this food journey!" Gideon
Keen to take part in Neighbours Day Aotearoa and based in the Bay of Plenty? Gideon can support you 🙂

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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
