SPCA Op Shop Callout

Trudi from Browns Bay

Hi animal lovers.
Spring cleaning time is upon us and we would like to ask our neighbours to help us, help the animals by donating any unwanted items to our Op Shop in Inverness Road Browns Bay. We are always in need of good quality bric a brac, kitchenware, glassware, paintings, books ,cds', dvd's clothing, and furniture.
We can even arrange to pick up furniture from your home.
Unfortunately we are unable to take electrical items due to Health and Safety regulations.
All profits from our stores go directly to help save and rehome thousands of animals every year. Your donations can make a real difference. Thank you.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
