As it happens it needs someone with some special mechanical abilities to make some new parts for the spring motor system. If anyone knows someone who has "lost" one of these could they please get in touch with me. Otherwise I will have to sell it during my current downsizing. If it "rings a bell" please contact me and I can post some pictures.

Citizens Advice Bureau- Value For More Than Money

Rani Timoti from Helensville Citizens Advice Bureau

What’s a damaged casserole pot, a beat-up printer, busted car door and a cracked letterbox have in common?

What’s a damaged casserole pot, a beat-up printer, busted car door and a cracked letterbox have in common?
Nothing normally but they’re a public reminder of the value of our organisation.
Citizens Advice Bureau Auckland branches, including Helensville, are teaming up with TradeMe, to present a series of auctions which metaphorically represent the cost of free advice given by our volunteers throughout February.
The creative campaign feature a cracked letterbox worth $34,350 (over 229 hours on tenancy advice), a damaged casserole pot worth $33,450 (over 223 hours on consumer rights), a beat up printer worth $30,750 (over 147 hours on employment dispute cases), a broken car part worth $24,450 (on all vehicle advice).
Visitors to the auctions, which close on March 14, can also call CAB as a forum to ask questions and seek advice.
ACABx, the board responsible for negotiating and administering funding with Auckland Council on behalf of the nine Auckland CABs with 33 branches, secured a timely Radio New Zealand slot to highlight the auctions.
National Radio host Jesse Mulligan started the interview by reading a text from a grateful CAB client helping him receive free legal advice to retrieve a refund for an event’s tickets from his bank.
Jesse then questioned John Farrell, CAB Orakei volunteer and a former CEO of some of the world’s most renowned hotels.
John says despite his previous skills it was like starting again as he went through extensive CAB training to learn how to help clients. “We don’t use our own opinion but point them in the right direction.”
John estimates he’s taken over 700 calls in his six years acknowledging the accuracy and information from CABNET and support of fellow volunteers with expertise on certain subjects.
He says CAB is for everyone, not just those suffering deprivation and volunteering is very satisfying to empower clients to receive genuine help and provide relief for them.
“There’s a sense of learning and working with like-minded people,” he says about his comradeship with his colleagues.
In illustrating the real-life impact of the CAB's work on individuals and communities, John articulated the significance of our mission and the collective effort required to sustain our vital service.
“I am also always surprised at how many Kiwis don’t know about our services, that we can help them, for free in their time of need or to help solve the trickiest situations,” he says. “This is our chance to remind New Zealanders of this extremely important service and the impact this advice can have on people’s lives.”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all. Plus, you’ll both receive a $25 Prezzy card.

Susan Williams from Frankleigh Park in New Plymouth has nominated Kathryn Shaw as a Nice Neighbour. She says:
'Kathryn and her partner Chris spent all Waitangi day replacing and repairing our dividing fence, they did such an amazing job. Chris also brought me a load of firewood when I ran out in winter for which I was so grateful. If I ever need a hand with any heavy work or lifting, I know I only have to ask and they are there. There have been so many instances over the years where Kathryn's help has been given, too many to name. I wouldn't swap my neighbours for anyone else this is why I am still here after 20 years.'
