New year, means more families to help
Hi Neighbours!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year period. We are back in action from the 9th but unfortunately have a wait list of children needing help from the moment we go back to work and are desperately needing these items. If you could bring these to us when we open on the 9th OR if you get in touch with me, I can arrange for a collection otherwise you're more than welcome to drop off locally to me.
The items we are needing are as follows:
- Cots
- Prams
- Bassinets
- New born clothing
- Car seats (all stages and non expired)
- Size 2,3,4,5 and 6 clothing
- Bassinet bedding
- Blankets
When we walk into the factory, we have 34 applications from the moment we get going, 8 prams, 8 bassinets, and 9 car seats is what is included in these that we don't have.
Towards the end of last year we started to have completely empty shelves, this was a result of the need we were seeing so we are desperately needing a large supply of all things in order to fill the needs we will continue to see in 2023.
If you can help we would be forever grateful, otherwise if not and you are able to share this post we will again be forever grateful for that too!
Thank you.
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?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.5% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
