We are pleased to advise that the CAB has now moved back into their newly refurbished accommodation and is now operating as normal from 11 June 2019. The Justices of the Peace will remain at the Orewa Barber Shop until 29 June 2019 at which time they too will relocate back to the CAB. The first clinic at the CAB will be 1 July 2019.
The Auckland Justices of the Peace Association would like to acknowledge Lorraine of the Orewa Barber Shop for allowing the JP's to operate out of her premises as a temporary measure. The access, additional work and support provided by Lorraine and her staff in support of the JP's has been first class. Thank you, Lorraine

Auckland Transport suffered a 30 minute train suspension across the network due to a KiwiRail signalling fault yesterday. It was the second time in a week that trains were non-operational, network wide. Auckland Mayor Phil Goff said the delays were "not good enough". He asked KiwiRail if its infrastructure was fit for purpose. KiwiRail has promised an independent review into the recent signal faults.

This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.
You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...
Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.
For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz
