Taste of Cultures event- 30th July, Te Papa, Wellington
Check out our Taste of Cultures event here: www.neighbourly.co.nz...
Taste of Cultures is a celebration of Wellington's cultural diversity through food, music, dance, speakers and voices from our former refugee communities.
We are so grateful that the team at Te Papa have opened up the Te Marae event space for us, guests will enjoy a private viewing of their exhibition 'Stories from refugees in New Zealand' before dinner.
Tickets are $120 per person, or $900 for a table of 9 guests.
We are aware that a lot of New Zealanders have been significantly affected financially by COVID-19, and though we need to continue to fundraise for our work in helping vulnerable people, we would like to offer anyone who has been affected COVID-19 an opportunity to attend this incredible event.
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 🪙💰🪙
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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
