This is the 2nd year that Alex has been selected to represent NZ, it is an amazing achievement, but once again as a junior rider, this is self-funded. Over the next few months, he will be running various fund-raising events and any support from his local and wider community would be greatly appreciated so that he can actually get there.
Currently Alex has a 'Give a Little Page' and if anyone is in a position to donate, even a little bit, it will go a long way!

Please also feel free to share the page and if anyone is interested in sponsoring Alex, personally or through your business, we would love to hear from you.
Thank you! 🤞
A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.
Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?

Your decisions about what will happen to your money and assets after you are gone are an opportunity to make a real difference.
That’s the central proposition of The Bequest Report, newly published by financial advisors JBWere New Zealand.
Their research points to a curious anomaly of Kiwis’ generosity – our giving to charities over our lifetimes is relatively high by international standards, and yet the number of charitable ‘gifts in Wills’ is quite low here, when compared to bequest rates in equivalent countries.
This matters, because with the Baby Boomers beginning to pass away, the Western world is at the start of the largest-ever inter-generational transfer of wealth.
The Bequest Report is therefore intended to be a ‘call to action’, for all New Zealanders to leave a portion of their estates to charitable organisations, so that our society as a whole benefits from this moment in history.
What are the key researched facts in the Report that confirm this development?

“We’ve made eight soldiers and 20 poppies plus the smaller poppies that go on the soldiers’ chests which we will place around the gardens and outside the resident lounge here,” Roger says, agreeing that they will make a perfect backdrop for the village’s planned remembrance morning tea.
