CAB - Who are we?

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

๐Ÿง If you're wondering what we are all about, let's get into it.

๐Ÿ‘‰ We are a free service - providing free, confidential, independent information and advice. Our skilled, trained volunteers all over the motu are ready to have a kลrero and will take the time to listen.

๐Ÿ‘‰ We help people know and understand their rights and identify a pathway to addressing issues or problems they may face.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Everyone is welcome at CAB. We are a universal service, which means we are here for everyone and anyone who needs our help, on any question or issue.

๐Ÿ‘‰ We act as a voice for positive social change. When we see that policies or laws in Aotearoa are not working well for people, through the insights we gain from people we help, we call for change.

๐Ÿ‘‰ We help connect people to the services, clubs, activities and support organisations they need. CAB has an awesome online community directory of over 35,000 local services and organisations.

๐Ÿค™ You can contact us on freephone 0800 367 222, online at
cab.org.nz (send a message or kลrero with a volunteer on live chat), or visit one of our 80 CAB locations around the motu cab.org.nz/find-a-cab/

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒฒ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itโ€™s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
