Our Next SPACE programmes for new Parents 16 July

Clive from Island Bay

Space at St Hilda's Island Bay Anglican Church (for babies born March - July '25) - starting Wednesday 16 July 2025 at 12:30pm
2 hours @ NZ$115.00

We seek to support you and your baby during the beginning stages of your parenting relationship. The course runs in the afternoon for the first 10 weeks and then transfers to the morning as babies start to get settled into more regular nap times, with a break for school holidays. Our trained facilitators bring a wealth of personal parental experience. Each week we will meet together, develop friendships, drink coffee (or tea) and support each other on our parenting journey.
More info: ibhildas@gmail.com or go to the Parenting place website parentingplace.nz... and click on the Red Circle (Find a group), choose Wellington (from a choice of 3 centres) and follow the directions.

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?
