KCA Wins Tier 3 Charity Reporting Awards

Phil Davies from Kiwi Community Assistance (KCA)

Tawa based charity KCA was surprised to receive on the 2nd Nov the Tier 3 Chartered Accountants Australia and NZ Reporting Awards.

We would like to thank our Treasury Tracey Reid, our auditor Jonathan of Aurora Financials, our donors who donate to us financially and provide us with their unwanted good quality items, our volunteers who take the photos of the donations. This information is put into our report sent to the Dept of Internal Affairs annually.

KCA is really a Tier 4 (under $125,000) income per annum but as our accounts are done accrual basis we are classifed as Tier 3.

With a total expenditure of $79,795 as of the 31st March 2017 our biggest expense is our warehousing costs, followed by food.

We are approaching our 6th birthday at the end of November.

Thank you to everyone past and present whose generosity has made our charity a success. We have already assisted over 30,000 people so far this financial year.

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.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
