Do you have 1 hour a week to help a new Kiwi?
Want to teach English to an adult refugee or migrant in their own home? We provide training and ongoing support for your ESOL home tutor role. You’ll not only teach English, you’ll help your learner settle into their community and participate in Kiwi life.
Our final course this year starts mid-November, and our first course next year starts early-February 2018, so contact us now for information. You can make a real difference in your community by volunteering.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
