#PinkShirtDay
It’s a sea of pink here at Wellington Water as we celebrate diversity and stand up against bullying for #PinkShirtDay💟
We held a fundraising morning tea/bake off this morning, with a lot of sweet treats for everyone to choose from. A huge thanks goes out to those who brought in something for the morning tea 🍰 great effort team.
Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora!
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 🪙💰🪙

26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
