Homeless

Marcia from Onerahi

There empty buildings in town that could be turned into shelter some segregating male/single families/families /female even car park the old dairy house is empty close to town transport. Each floor must have toilets and showers offices turned into bedroom areas tea rooms. Of course it takes a lot of organising. Fire and health issues.
Some may have drug/alcohol/mental problems so that could cause a problem but they could be in another building getting shelter and help.
Some would rather stay outdoors it's there way of life.
Easier said than done.
My husband saw 2 souls sheltering under a bridge. I know children and parents are in cars sleeping.
Just an idea?
Who owns the old countdown in Kensington ?

International Volunteer Day - 5th December 2024

Kristi Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

This International Volunteer Day on December 5th, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible people who give their time, energy, and hearts to help others. The theme this year 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 reminds us that volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes, and there’s a way for everyone to contribute.

Volunteering though isn’t just about one day, it happens every single day, in big ways and small. To everyone who steps up to lend a hand, support their community, or just make someone’s day brighter, thank you.
