Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

“We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take the next steps and to resolve their problems”
A highlight of Awareness week is the launch of the new web site. The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand. Please try it at our website www.cab.org.nz... or just search for Citizen's Advice Bureau.
Our volunteers have been busy upskilling in the use of this excellent resource.
We are also pleased to welcome a group of new volunteers, who are currently in training and we look forward to them being part of our TEAM.
Thanks to everyone who joined us or submitted questions for our live chat with Resene colour experts Christine Hawkings and Merenia Patira.
If you missed it, you can still check out their answers and get some fresh decorating ideas, here.

A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.
