Spark have recently announced a price increase of $3 - $5 a month for new and existing broadband customers and other providers seem likely to follow suit.

Information collated by our research team has found that tens of thousands of Kiwis are still missing out on hundreds of dollars of savings each year on their broadband bill, because they are failing to shop around for cheaper broadband plans.

We estimate that over 500,000 households would be able to pay less for their broadband each month but many consumers are unaware of the fact that they could be making these savings and people often donโ€™t know where to start when looking for a change in broadband plan or provider.

This is where NZ Compare can help. Our websites are simple to use and if you need more help, our friendly, Auckland based, customer support centre can advise on the most suitable broadband plan for your needs and help talk you through the switch. With unlimited fibre broadband plans available for less than $60 a month why would you pay more?

Find out more at NZ Compare or call the team on 0508 226672

CORRECTION: This post has been amended to clarify that the price of fibre and copper broadband internet services will increase, and that the increase is between $3 and $5 a month, not only $5 a month on fibre broadband plans as previously posted. (Amended at 10.31am, June 23, 2022)

Good morning Neighbours,

I am apart of an amazing team of ladies at an organisation called Mummy's in Need. We strive to relieve poverty by supplying families in hardship with baby items, emotional support, clothing, food, and other necessities. You can read more about what we do here! www.mummysinneed.co.nz...

A family has come to us where their 15 month girl was born with a bigger left arm, (Paediatricians still don't know why) and being in winter they're struggling to find clothing that fit over her left arm/hand so we're looking for people that may be able to knit a few items for this little girl that specifically will fit over her hand so she at least has warmer clothes in these chilly months.

If anyone would kindly love to help or can, it would be more than appreciated. We want to make sure everyone is safe, warm and have the love from the community they deserve - Feel free to private message me if you have any questions.


Have a lovely day!

Op Shop - Hibiscus Coast Presbyterian Church
Volunteers Urgently Needed
Volunteering at our Op Shop is more than just a good use of free time - it's fun.

Shop manager Val Dymock is on the lookout for new volunteers and says anyone with a few hours to spare might want to consider spending it volunteering at the shop.

"It's a place to come and have a laugh and make new friends," she says. "People are feeling isolated and don't necessarily want to come out, but our Op Shop are doing what we can to provide this place for people to still come to make friends and have a laugh."

The shop is invested in our local community and supports various community initiatives, schools, hospital Chaplains and needy families.
"Without volunteers, we can't open and can't make money to provide these services," says Val who runs the Op Shop.

The shop also provides a service for locals who might not be able to buy things new.

"We can kit you out, your house out, your kitchen out. There's everything here and the price range is starting at a dollar," says Val.

"And we cater for all demographics - antique dealers, people who want to buy stuff and put it on Trade Me to people who want to buy clothes from an op shop because they don't want to buy new for sustainability reasons. But without staff we can't provide all those things."

If you are interested, please call Val on: 021 133 6545 or call in at the Op Shop

We can show people round if they feel daunted at the prospect of something new - come in and have a look around the shop, meet a few people and we can go from there.
