Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.

Playing it safe at Alert Level 2
The Manukau East Shopping Shuttle plays a crucial role in helping elderly and vulnerable people in our community stay independent and active.
Because many of our volunteer drivers and companion shoppers also fall into the 70+/vulnerable category, we are playing it safe by ensuring that we will;
1. Have our friendly drivers and companion shoppers usher people to their seats in order that we can achieve the intent of social distancing guidelines.
2. Only carry passengers who pre-book with us on 0800 632 677 (This will ensure we meet our obligations with contact tracing).
3. Refuse travel to any passenger presenting with flu-like symptoms.
4. High-touch surfaces on the vehicle will be regularly disinfected.
