Paying it forward

Jody from Te Awamutu

In the spirit of paying it forward, Stuff is giving each of its employees across New Zealand $100 to spend at their favourite local business. It’s a treat to combat the lockdown glums, with the added benefit of helping small businesses across the motu get back on their feet after the recent level 4 lockdown. We’d love to see other businesses in a position to help do the same!

You can also support your favourite spots with a post on Neighbourly’s Local Likes page. There are prizes up for grabs, so get sharing with your community and let’s rally behind our very important small businesses.

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?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City councillors have signed off on a plan change that could see Te Rapa Racecourse swap stables for townhouses.

The deputy mayor says this paves the way for “basically creating a new suburb within the city”.
