Compassion Soup Kitchen Street Appeal

Paula from Aro Valley

Can you spare an hour or two on the 14th June to help collect for the Soup Kitchen's annual street appeal? This is the Soup Kitchen's biggest fundraiser of the year and helps to keep the doors open to many vulnerable Wellingtonians. The Compassion Soup Kitchen has a rich history in the Wellington community, and we strive to ensure that the mission of Suzanne Aubert is kept alive through our mahi with people on the margins of society.
To sign up go to soupkitchen.org.nz... or email volunteers@compassion.org.nz
Thanks!!

πŸ’¨ Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! 🌧️ We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.

In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!

The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! β˜€οΈ

Any local hidden spots or activities you’d recommend for a calm Wellington day? Drop them in the comments! πŸ‘‡

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
