CAP
Dear Community
We know there are many people and families in Thames, Coromandel & Hauraki who are struggling with the pressures of financial debt. Through working for over 10 years with our debt help centre clients, we have seen how these struggles can damage lives and cause both financial and relational struggles.
We are excited to announce that Equippers Church Thames is partnering with Christians Against Poverty (CAP) to launch a CAP Debt Help Centre, serving the Thames, Coromandel & Hauraki area. Your local CAP Debt Help team will visit homes, prepare an effective budget and provide long term support for clients until they are out of debt and financially free.
We would like to invite you to a morning tea at Equippers Church Thames to hear more about CAP and our new CAP Debt Help Centre.
Where: Equippers Church Thames Building – 507 Mackay Street, Thames
When: Thursday 16 August 10am – 11:20am
For catering purposes, please RSVP via email: eleanor.birrell@capnz.org

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?
