Last Chance for Playcentre visits before holiday shutdown
Kia ora caregivers of pre-schoolers,
We're having our last week of full sessions at Kelburn Playcentre! With lots of our tamariki off to school, we're looking to welcome more families into our whānau. Please give us a shout at info@kelburnplaycentre.org.nz or just pop round with your little one(s) to play. We run sessions every weekday from 9am-12pm where you can build community and learn and grow alongside your tamariki.
We're located on Kowhai Rd, just across from Kelburn Normal School, and you don't have to live in Kelburn to attend.
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
