We have a few spaces left for the debt reduction talk on Monday 3rd at 7.30 pm at Te Hapua
The Halswell Community Project has asked Linda Hart to speak about how to reduce debt and particularly how to pay a lot less interest on your mortgage by paying it off quicker and using a range of bank tools to maximise the benefits to you and your family, rather than to the banks.
The session has small numbers and allows for people to ask questions and to clarify the principles that mortgage consultants work on. If you like what you hear or would like to discuss the principles further, Linda offers a free consultation to assess your own individual situation at a time of your choosing.
To book in for the talk, please phone or text Chrys on 0272 86 86 53 or email chrys.horn@xtra.co.nz

Hiya,
I am a student journalist at the University of Canterbury. One of our assignments coming up is to interact with a new community; an individual or family who has migrated to Christchurch in the last 5 years. I will be writing for the publication The Migrant Times and working with the person to tell their story.
Is there anyone on Neighbourly who might be willing to talk to me or could anyone on here put me in touch with someone who might want to share their story?

Thanks,

This is the last daily showcase of two of our AMI Community Grant finalists, sharing a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.

Under the Stars - Homeless in Tauranga
We are a Charitable Trust feeding the homeless and needy. We supply hygiene necessities, blankets, and clothing for those in need. We are also fortunate to have a hairdresser occasionally on site who gives her services for free. Recently we have begun to hold a drop in afternoon every second Thursday, giving people the opportunity to have a light lunch and a chance to chat. We are hoping to develop this afternoon more by offering a variety of creative arts. The volunteers that commit time and energy towards our meals do so mostly out of their own funds.
VOTE NOW!

Proposed youth centre for Keith Street Wanganui central district
I propose the opening and running of a youth centre based in Keith street or Wanganui cbd. The benefits of having a youth centre in the community will bring together the younger and older generations, so we can learn from each others mistakes and experiences to enhance each other’s lives. We have a mixture of people from different cultures in our society in such a small radius that sometimes we forget about those who really are struggling with life, and they are the most vulnerable people in our society. I want to change that for the better, and help those people that are struggling to survive on the basic benefit or wages. VOTE NOW!

Would you like to pay your mortgage off quicker?
Over the lifetime of a standard mortgage you will very likely pay as much or more interest than the amount you actually borrow but by using standard bank tools, it is possible to halve the cost of the interest charged on your mortgage even for those on a modest income.
Money not spent on mortgage interest increases your cash flow so you pay off your debt much sooner than you could have dreamt.
The Halswell Community Project has asked Linda Hart to come and talk to us about reducing debt and the different ways in which they are, and can be structured and what strategies can help us alongside the mortgage.
Linda has 14 years’ experience helping people to reduce their debt. She is happy to share her knowledge and answer questions. If the concept interests people, she offers a further free consultation and analysis of your personal mortgage situation , so you can assess whether you want to use her assistance and see a brighter future.
Please email chrys.horn@xtra.co.nz if you are interested in attending. There are limited places so there are plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion.
Date: Monday 3rd April – 7.30- 9.00pm
Venue: Koaro Room at Te Hapua.
Cost: $3 to cover the cost of the room hire.
