Need a helping hand? There are lots of good people prepared to help others to make ends meet. We have also listed sites that oily raggers will find of general interest.

Financial assitance

• For details of the assitance benefits available, the eligibility criteria and the payments amounts see www.workandincome.govt.nz

Rates

• Having trouble paying your rates? Some council let you defer rates payments until the property is sold.

The councils known to offer a rates deferral scheme are:

                  Western Bay of Plenty District Council >>>.
