Allaie is the one on the left ❤️

Allaie is able to pay her camp fees and get her passport
without a community like this and a church family and godly lifestyle we surrounded ourselves with 4.5 years ago this would not be an opportunity for Allaie.
4.5 years ago I was a drug addict, alcoholic, addicted to cigarettes, domestic violence victim, babysitting kind of parent this was allaies lifestyle she was brought up in..Until 4.5 years ago..
Now I no longer do any of these things, delivered from my addictions and habits, no longer a victim of domestic violence. I am into my children and their futures. Allaie also has mild spinal Bifida so the fact that people supported her makes this a very big thing for her. A reference point she will remember for the rest of her life.

Thank you again neighbours

Yes Chef

Jamie Neighbourly Lead from Chartwell

My family and I recently had Jo Astill from "Yes chef with Jo" cook a delicious three-course meal for us. Jo, a chef at Gothenburg Restaurant for the past six years, has just started her own business. I would highly recommend her.

Discover your rights with the CAB!

Sacha Green from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand

Do you know what your rights are at work? How about your rights to do with renting or owning a home? If you buy something that’s faulty do you know what your options are? This CAB Awareness Week from 8-14 April you’re being invited to Discover Your Rights – Tūhuratia ō motika!

Do you know what your rights are at work? How about your rights to do with renting or owning a home? If you buy something that’s faulty do you know what your options are? This CAB Awareness Week from 8-14 April you’re being invited to Discover Your Rights – Tūhuratia ō motika!

Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.

A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.

The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.

The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.

We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.

We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.

From Warkworth to Wigmore Hall, New Zealand star baritone Julien Van Mellaerts and South African pianist James Baillieu take you on a journey of the song from Schubert, Ravel and Vaughan Williams, to a world premiere setting of iconic NZ birds by Gareth Farr.

This journey through the world of art song and Lieder probes the human psyche with an intensity no other genre, not even opera, is permitted. Unhinged. Gruelling. Hallucinatory. Joyful. Beautiful. This ranks as the most searing experience any music lover can undergo.

Julien Van Mellaerts & James Baillieu: touring NZ 10-16 April
