Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.
I have noticed this money making game on Social media lately. You place $300 to get into the game into an account. Please be aware that this is a Pyramid scam and while it maybe working now the amount of people that is need to be recruited for it to continue is finite, and it will start to diminish… View moreI have noticed this money making game on Social media lately. You place $300 to get into the game into an account. Please be aware that this is a Pyramid scam and while it maybe working now the amount of people that is need to be recruited for it to continue is finite, and it will start to diminish were you may not get the return you are promised. It is only the first people that get on board that get the profits. These types of schemes have been around since last century, with a lot of people loosing money. It is also highly illegal in New Zealand and you can be prosecuted. So be aware.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.
The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!
As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."

The proposed changes will allow us to partner with Central Government to undertake some transformational projects for our District. For example, we have a chance now to unlock some very significant Government funding to support marine and tourism sector development through waterfront and town centre regeneration; and to bring forward road safety and active transport projects.
