In the lead-up to Election 2023 in October, we’re posting a series of blogs written by our members and kaimahi, tied together with threads of hope and optimism for how Aotearoa might change in the near future. We want to highlight what our members are seeing out there in their communities, and also suggest innovative solutions for positive systemic and individual change.
Steph Brook (Anglican Diocese of Auckland) writes that purposefully creating intergenerational spaces within our communities would have positive impacts for everyone.
Nikki Hurst (NZCCSS) writes about the connection between our tax and welfare systems and proposes a new way to streamline them to support people who need it most.
Fraser Kearse (The Salvation Army) looks toward a near future when the use of post pay purchase apps is an empowered choice rather than an absolute necessity, for everyone.
Melanie Wilson (NZCCSS) tells us about the rights of tamariki | children in New Zealand, what our aspirations as a nation are, and where to read more to inform your voting decision.
Claire Booth (Wesley Community Action) writes about the positive impacts, for staff and those they support, after working to become a Dementia Friendly organisation.
