We are more than you ๐...
This is the theme of this year's Youth Week, a nationwide festival of events to celebrate the talents, passion and success of local young people, on now until May 26th.
Organised every May by Ara Taiohi, the week inspires us to value, support, and affirm the diversity of young people in our society. The goal of Youth Week is to make Aotearoa a country where young people are vibrant and optimistic and are supported and encouraged to take up challenges. ๐๐ช

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?
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?

LIVE Q&A: Financial well-being with Cat Rikihana
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 Manawatลซ.
Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whฤnau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whฤnau 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!)
