Street Appeal Cancelled - Help us Meet the Need

St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington

Because of current COVID-19 restrictions, we’ve had to make the tough call to cancel our Vinnies Annual Street Appeal. This doesn’t stop the challenges our communities are facing and the increasing amount of support services being accessed at our Newtown Hub.

Times are tough at the moment. We need your help to meet the increasing demand for Vinnies Welfare Services, ensuring kiwis have access to the support they need when they need it.

If in a position to do so, please consider donating to the Vinnies Annual Appeal. Every dollar will help keep our services open and accessible to the community.

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?
