Wellington Citizens Advice Bureau under threat.

The Team from CAB Wellington

We normally help you. Today we need your help.

Our Council funding is at risk. Council staff have rejected our application for continued 3-year funding and have recommended a one-off grant for 6 months during which time they want us to completely redefine our services. This combined with the Council signalling the loss of our CAB premises means our very existence in Wellington is threatened.
There is still time to change Wellington councils mind. Lobby the council by signing our petition.

If you are willing to share your story of how we helped you, make contact your local bureau so we can arrange to have you interviewed.

If we are not there, where will the 31,000 people we helped last year go?

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
