Keep Calm, Wash your Hands, Act with Kindness, Wash your Hands Again
Kia Ora, Kia kaha. Sending love to everyone at this time. Here is a little background about us: we are a small business of 5. When the recession of 2008 hit, we came out the other side. This time around I want my team and partners to know, that just like 2008, we will get through this together. We will stay open as long as we are able to mitigate the risks and spread of Covid-19. We want to assure you we take the threat of Covid-19 very seriously, as the health of our team and your family means the world to us. With all the uncertainty surrounding this pandemic, we guarantee the best possible hygiene measures at our workshop. We have increased our cleaning and sanitising of the workshop to 3 times a day. Moving forward, we will meet you directly outside our workshop in order to promote social distancing (if possible email us before hand with photos so we can provide you with a quote online!). We have a hand sanitiser station available at our workshop. We are not doing in-house assessments for people that have traveled or have made contact with anyone who has traveled in the past 14 days, or suspects they are ill. We cherish all of our clients and value your health. Please take care of yourself and others at this time, and support local business as much as you can 💛

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?
A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?

LIVE Q&A: Financial well-being with Cat Rikihana
Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.
Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.
Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'
She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)
