It is National Volunteer week

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

A big thank you to all the volunteers out there. Volunteering helps support our community in so many ways. At Citizens Advice Bureau we are so thankful for our wonderful volunteers, without whom we could not function.

Did you know there are 108 volunteers in the CAB Christchurch area and only 1 paid staff member. Our volunteers are a diverse bunch, with different backgrounds, ethnicities and languages but they all come together to help the community. Working from 3 branches around Christchurch from Monday to Friday, plus at the Loft at Eastgate on a Tuesday, so we can be near you to help.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering at CAB give us a call or email manager.cabchch@gmail.com.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Is it possible to actually 'talk' to a Facebook person.

Gordon from Halswell

For a while now, about three times, I have had my 'FB messenger' site blocked.
I think the very 1st time a message mentioned about 8 reasons why I had been blocked, but not which of the 8 and which post. I tried to contact them but I end up going around and around in circles.
I have found out what is prompting the blocking, which has, yesterday they DISABLED my account after I posted 6 photographs of a friend's DOG on Messenger. I then remembered the last time it happened, I had posted multiple photos, and 'spam' was mentioned as one of the 8 possible reasons for blocking.
So now I know the reason, how the hell do I talk to them about it?
