The Salvation Army - Red Shield Appeal & Street Collection
There are Kiwi's across New Zealand living on the edge. So many people who are one step away from disaster and chaos.
But you can help:
This week is our national Red Shield Appeal Week. This is when we collect vital funds to help us run frontline services including Foodbanks, Financial Mentoring, Social Work, Parenting Courses, Lifeskills and Counselling. The current cost of living crisis has meant that we are needed more than ever. If you can give, either of your time to help us collect in our street appeal or through giving a donation, this would make a world of difference. And to all our supporters and colleagues already collecting and donating - Thank you so much - God Bless you!! Donate Below....
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?
