As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

House Wanted to Buy
Do you have a low maintenance single level house?
Or a house that doesn’t need major work needing to be done.
On a small easy to care section?

We have lived locally for a number of years and are keen to find that right property as we look to slightly downsize from our large 2 story house.

We are looking for:
2 – 3 bedrooms about 120 – 140 SQM
Two bathrooms or potential for a second bathroom.

On a flat and easy-care section under 500 SQM,
With garage or possability to add a garage

If your property is on the flat, handy to bus, and shops, in Island Bay, Lyall Bay or Miramar and you are looking to sell, then do get in touch!! As you might have the house we have been looking for.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
