Zoomy Charity Drive
29-Aug-2019 | Shine News
... more
Shine has partnered with Zoomy – New Zealand’s largest owned and operated rideshare company – for its new Charity Drive initiative. 
Zoomy Charity Drive works by allowing riders to round up each ride to the nearest dollar, automatically donating the difference to your charity of choice. 
Zoomy is in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Shine's DVFREE policy advisor and senior trainer Holly Carrington has been a long time customer. 
"Zoomy is fabulous. I use it all the time in Auckland and Wellington. In the city centres they seem to be just as available as Uber, they also are usually cheaper and pay their drivers more. So all good!" 
Zoomy Charity Drive is available on the Zoomy app. To enable the feature, hit ‘donate’ from the Zoomy app and select Shine as your charity of choice from the three charities. 
After that, every time you ride with Zoomy, your fare will be rounded to the nearest dollar and your round up donation will go directly to Shine.

Stop normalising violence against women
26-Aug-2019 | Shine News

Recent comments by Australian commentator Alan Jones that Scott Morrison when meeting PM Jacinda Ardern should 'shove a sock down her throat' and get tough 'with a few backhanders' help to reinforce a culture where violence against women is trivialised. 
Sally Ward, Senior Manager Training & Education at Shine, spoke to the Guardian UK saying 'Jones’s comments normalised the idea that women should be silenced through physical punishment, and insinuated that women have no right to hold or voice opinions, particularly from positions of authority.
“His comments are socially very dangerous and feed into norms that accept that women should be silenced... Normalising [unequal] power relationships on air only makes it easier for women to accept abuse, physical or verbal, as normal, and makes it socially and culturally easier for men to justify them. From there physical and verbal violence is a short step away.”'

An MYOB survey of small & medium sized businesses found nearly half hadn't implemented any domestic violence leave policies despite the law change almost five months ago.  "It would be our hope that this becomes the norm for businesses to have policies," Shine DVFREE and Policy Adviser Holly Carrington told TVNZ's 1 NEWS.
