Budget, Save, Spend - The CAP course
Want to save for something important? Or just wonder where your money goes?
The CAP course is a revolutionary, free money management course that teaches people skills and a simple cash-based system that really works. The course will help anyone to gain more control over their finances so they can save, give and prevent debt. It is for anyone regardless of age or financial status. It is entirely private - no one else can see your financial data.
St Hilda’s is proud to be able to offer this course, which has benefitted thousands of Kiwi’s, and is also helping people in the UK, Canada, Australia and recently the USA. Our course starts on Monday May 22nd at 7.30pm at St Hilda’s, and continues on the 29th and 12th June. To enrol, go to the CAP website (www.capnz.org), or contact St Hilda’s office officeislandbayanglican@gmail.com. Note: places are limited so don’t leave it until the last moment!
Best way to use leftovers?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
