Advance Care Planning - Titahi bay Library

Melanie from Porirua City Centre

🗣️ Have you had the important conversation with those you love about what matters most at the end of life?

As part of Dying Matters Week, Sean Thompson is facilitating a free Advance Care Planning session - a chance to explore your values, ask questions, and make plans while you are well for the care you would or would not want in the future.

📍 Porirua – Wednesday 3rd September
🕑 2pm–4pm, Titahi Bay Library

These informal, supportive sessions are a great opportunity to:
âś… Start your Advance Care Plan
✅ Understand why it matters — for you and your loved ones
âś… Learn how this simple step can make difficult decisions easier in the future

Come along and take the first step — because planning ahead matters and dying matters.

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?
