Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.

Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.

Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'

She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)

Hawke's Bay Show

Denise from Marewa

Did you know that they have competitions for people who knit, sew, embroider, make chutney or relish, do woodwork and more? If you enter an item into the show, the entry fee is $5 per item but you get a free ticket to the show, which would cost you $15 otherwise.

Did you know that they have competitions for people who knit, sew, embroider, make chutney or relish, do woodwork and more? If you enter an item into the show, the entry fee is $5 per item but you get a free ticket to the show, which would cost you $15 otherwise.
What used to be called "Homecrafts" has so few entries and categories compared to 2017 when I last entered partly due to a lack of promotion, so if you can, please put something in the Show to help make it what it used to be. The show is only held over 2 days now too.
