Launching Heather Newell's campaign for Upper Hutt City Council

Heather from Totara Park

After a few terms away from local body politics, I have new enthusiasm and concern for our local community of Upper Hutt. I feel as if we are at the crossroads - the left hand turn is for stagnation, the right hand turn takes us on a wide and safe road leading to a beautiful look-out where we see the valley, the hills, lakes, river and lots of satisfied people. I want to be on that road! I have served Upper Hutt previously as a local body councillor and now I want to be back there, working on your behalf. When the time comes, please vote for Heather Newell.

LIVE Q&A: Financial well-being with Cat Rikihana

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!)

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
