IN NEED OF KNITTERS

Nicola from Stanmore Bay

Good morning Neighbours,

I am apart of an amazing team of ladies at an organisation called Mummy's in Need. We strive to relieve poverty by supplying families in hardship with baby items, emotional support, clothing, food, and other necessities. You can read more about what we do here! www.mummysinneed.co.nz...

A family has come to us where their 15 month girl was born with a bigger left arm, (Paediatricians still don't know why) and being in winter they're struggling to find clothing that fit over her left arm/hand so we're looking for people that may be able to knit a few items for this little girl that specifically will fit over her hand so she at least has warmer clothes in these chilly months.

If anyone would kindly love to help or can, it would be more than appreciated. We want to make sure everyone is safe, warm and have the love from the community they deserve - Feel free to private message me if you have any questions.


Have a lovely day!

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?
