Supporting financial literacy to boost wellbeing

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Managing your own finances wisely is a life skill that is becoming ever more important for survival and wellbeing in the modern world, and yet many people don’t know how to make money work for them and often pay a high price for that lack of understanding.

Cambridge philanthropists John and Nicola Kenel see this knowledge gap as a serious issue for the wellbeing of individuals, families, communities and the nation, so last year they set up the ‘Waikato Financial Literacy Fund’ at Momentum Waikato.

You're invited to also support this initiative that aims to tackle this issue by funding financial literacy courses and tools for young people.

Predator Alert : Male after your young children

Shezz from Ngaruawahia

I've tried to post this 3 times from a post on Facebook but it won't post on here. Please, please look out for this vehicle and the male who is after young girls, possibly boys but only underage girls mentioned so far.

Hey just putting this out there if anyone knows this car to keep an eye out.
This man is DANGEROUS
Fair skinned shaved head
Possibly 30s has been stalking my 14 or old around town for two weeks yelling out his car , following her and her friends in town.
Today she was walking home alone and he saw her turned around and pulled up and got out to approach her.
She yelled at him to go away and said she was only 12 .he said that's OK.
And got closer to her and she had to fend him off and run home.
He then drove past her near whatawhata Ave dairy .and she hid inthere till she saw him leave .
She ran home.
Let us know if you have any info as we've called the police twice .

Poll: Do you think these are the best areas for denser housing?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A controversial plan change that could see three-by-three housing density rules in Hamilton is set to be considered by the council in a meeting this week.

And city hall has released its preference for where it would go.

Do you think these are the best areas for denser housing? Tell us your thoughts in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
