CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU AWARENESS WEEK

Sue from Waikanae

With the increasing digitisation of government processes and the withdrawal of public counter services, we want to highlight the role the CAB plays in responding to people’s needs and supporting inclusion in society. While some services are getting harder to access, the CAB is there for people in a way that works for them – whether it’s face to face, by phone or online.

This is the basis of our Awareness Week theme which is “We’re here”. We see this as an opportunity to reinforce the many ways that the CAB is here for people e.g.:

To help
For free
For everyone
Whatever your problem
Face to face, kanohi ki te kanohi
Online - website, online chat
In the local community
To advocate on issues
For your rights
For young and old
For migrants

Come and see us on Friday 13th in Coastlands Garden Court from 10.00am or upstairs in Coastlands five days a week, 9.00am - 4.00pm or ring 04 298 4944.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
