Justice of the peace (JP) service at Citizens Advice branches in Christchurch

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

We have JPs at our New Brighton and Hornby branches as follows:

New Brighton - 133 Brighton Mall (between It Takes a Village and Seaside Treasures) - 03 366 6490
- Wednesday 10.30-11.30

Hornby community centre (8 Goulding Avenue) – 03 349 5236
– Monday - 9.30-12.30
- Thursday - 9.30-12.30

All are a Drop in service – you might want to give us a call on the day to check it is running

Here are some tips to help you get your paperwork right when you visit with a JP:
- If you want to certify a true copy, have the original document and the copy with you.
- If certifying transcripts printed from the internet or email attachments, the JP will need to see the original website or email on your computer or cell phone (or our office computer).
- If you are certifying a text message, the JP will need to see the whole message on your computer or cell phone.
- If certifying documents for banks or financial institutions, need a declaration or you need an affidavit, the JP needs to see the person named in the document and their photo ID e.g. Passport, Drivers licence or 18+ card.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
