CAB Awareness Week
It’s CAB Awareness Week! This is a time for putting a spotlight on CAB to celebrate our mahi and highlight to the community the help and services we offer.
This year’s theme is ‘Awhi mai, awhi atu – empowered together’. It reflects the role of the CAB as a place where the community comes together in the spirit of receiving and giving support and being empowered together.
This idea of supporting and empowering people, both individually and collectively, is something we know lots about at CAB. It reflects our organisation’s aims – to empower individuals and whānau through our service of advice and information and to empower communities by advocating for fairer laws and policies based on what we learn from our clients.
If you need help and don’t know who to ask, or if you would like to give back to the community through volunteering with an organisation that helps people individually and collectively, CAB could be the place for you.
Get in touch with us on 0800 367 222, visit us at cnr Queens Drive & LaingsRoad, or send us a message via cab.org.nz.

Avalon cycleway (well, shared path actually!)
Fantastic to see the city continue to invest in making getting to school safer on bikes.
The city's getting denser. Every commute should feel like what it does during school holidays. The only way to get that to happen is when parents feel comfortable with their kids riding bikes and walking to school.
I've heard a few people moan that there's no bikes, so there's no need for a cycleway. But the lack of bikes is exactly the point. It indicates that people don't feel like bikes are a valid option.
Cycleways work all around the world. There's no magical curse which means that they won't work here too.
