We need your help.
Thank you for the support our Vinnies foodbank received over the holiday break. December saw a 121% increase in people accessing food assistance on the previous year - a number that mirrors the increasing hardships our community is facing.
💙 We need your help once again. 💙
The foodbank is running low on the below key items:
🥫 Tinned fish
🥫 Tinned vegetables
🥫 Breakfast spreads – jam, peanut butter
🥫 Breakfast cereals – cornflakes, muesli
🥫 Tinned/cuppa soup
🥫 Two-minute noodles
🥫 Tinned spaghetti
🥫 Sanitary items
🥫 Laundry powder
🥫 Toothbrushes
🥫 Shampoo and conditioner
🥫 Pasta
🥫 Rice
If you can spare and item or two, donations can be dropped off directly to our Newtown Welfare hub or any of our nine Wellington op shops.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
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?
-
0% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
0% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
