Step up, get active and support vulnerable people this winter with Red Cross Journey
Launched last year, Red Cross Journey is our annual fundraising step-challenge with a difference - you also get to learn about a real-life journey of someone involved with Red Cross. Join Brad and follow the journey of a Red Cross member volunteering in their community or a former refugee now living in New Zealand, while fundraising for us.
Choose the journey you want to follow and set your own challenge, including your distance and your fundraising target. Whether it’s 5,000 (approx. 4kms) or 10,000 (approx. 8kms) steps a day, whatever distance you choose make it a challenge for you and feel the added benefits of moving more and getting outside during the cooler months.
For those less able to walk or run, we also have other options for participating - get in touch to find out how Red Cross Journey can be adapted for you.
The more distance you cover, the more you’ll learn about the journey you have chosen to follow, through regular video updates.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
Dehorners
SharpAs Tool Tips
Pictured is a set of dehorners brought in for sharpening. Like all cutting tools, a sharp edge is essential for them to work efficiently and cleanly.
Good to see that pain relief is now part of the process as well.
If you have tools, knives, kitchen utensils, or other items that need sharpening or repair, come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturdays
🔹 Marlborough Farmers’ Market – Sundays
Or contact me directly on 027 444 5535.
