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

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

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.
