Food bank

Neil from Sockburn

I'm trying to source food from people in the community who for instance have fruit or produce that is rotting .
Like fruit .
Vegetables .
Food that is useable to others who are going hungry .
Please feel free to drop off in the carpark food .
And this is a free service .
I did this as a child getting old fruit and cutting the bad bits out and using the good .
I love Christchurch and as a community this is actually really required .
Any donation no matter how big or small will be appreciated by someone .
There are boxes by my Ford focus in the carpark .
Please if you have food going to waste bring it around .

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
