Awareness Week
Things make more sense when people are speaking your language!
At Citizens Advice Bureau we aim to ensure our service is inclusive and that language is not a barrier to getting the help you need. We have many multilingual CAB volunteers as well as access to interpreting services in lots of languages.
This CAB Awareness Week (20-26 March), we are celebrating diversity and multiculturalism within our service.
If you would like help in your language, call our freephone number 0800 367 222 or visit your local CAB and let us know what language speaker you require. Language should not be a barrier to getting the information and advice you need.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
