BENEFIT ADVOCACY HELP IN WAIKANAE

Sue from Waikanae

Hi everyone
If you are struggling with your benefit entitlements and need help and support, or you are struggling and wondering what extra help might be out there, we have volunteers at the Cameo Rooms, 5 Mahara Place, Waikanae, every Monday from 1030am till 1230am waiting to talk to you -
Feel free to ring 022 387 4094, email benefitadvocacykapiti@gmail.com or just pop in for a cuppa on Mondays 😊😊😊

It would be wonderful if you could pass our details on, particularly to people who don't have access to the internet - their lives made even harder by government departments all having (sometimes impenetrable) websites, and the confusing world of RealMe, MyMSD, MyIR....

(There is also someone at Cameo on Monday mornings to help you with phone and computer problems, don't forget!)

Paper Shredding

James from Waikanae

I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.

Just let me know if you want some.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
