NEST – Night Emergency Shelter Trust – update & request

Audrey from Auckland Central

www.thenest.kiwi

We are making headway with the NEST: Phase One (of 3) of the architects’ reports has been completed and now we need to pay various engineers (fire, ventilation etc) to write their reports. The whole lot will then be put together by our amazing resource consent experts at Berry Simons Environmental Law (who are acting for the NEST pro bono!) and submitted to the Council.

Our financials are nearly completed, thanks to our hard-working Trustee Chris Lynch and his wonderful and dedicated team at Lynch & Associates (Accountants) and so we are about to start our PR and fundraising in earnest. We have New Zealander of the Year Finalist 2018, Lisa King on board as a Trustee, which is super exciting as Lisa has a proven track record of expertise in marketing and entrepreneurship – not to mention a huge and kind heart.

Thanks to the generous support of Te Awheronui Trust, we are able to pay the architects and have some left over for some of the reports but not all of them.

We have received a generous donation of $70k from the Lion Foundation but that is set aside for the soft fit-out. We have received generous and overwhelming donations from suppliers all over Auckland.

Things are moving along and we are excited. But right now we need these reports completed.

We are so close to making a huge difference. Please help us to get there!

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

For most of us, seeing a friendly doggo while out and about instantly brings a smile to our faces. But how do you feel about cafes welcoming pups inside?
