We desperately need donated goods for SPCA Op Shops!
PLEASE HELP: Our SPCA Op Shops are in need of good quality, sellable goods!
SPCA Op Shops sell everything, from clothing, jewelry, kitchenware, linen, toys and bric-a-brac things for your pets. We are very competitively priced and all the money you spend goes to helping animals in need.
We will happily accept donations in good, sellable condition, not broken, damaged, stained or torn. Simply head to our store during opening hours and speak to our friendly staff and volunteers.
You can help us save our much needed funds for the animals by only donating the items we can re-sell.Donations can be dropped to the Dinsdale Op Shop (located in the Dinsdale shopping centre) during their opening hours - Tuesday - Friday 9am - 4.30pm, or Saturday 10am - 2pm, or the Matamata Op Shop (located 46 Broadway) during their opening hours Tuesday-Friday 9am-4pm.
PLEASE spread the word! Thank you :)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
