Santa's Workshop

Rob from Tamahere

The Hamilton Community Men's Shed offers men and women the opportunity to attend a supervised toy making workshop, to be held on five Thursday evenings from 7 to 9pm in November. Our shed is at the Ward Park Arts Complex, 2 Seddon Road.

The cost is $80 per person, covering all materials, (includes recycled Kauri timber) tools and tutor time. We will have samples and ideas of toys that you can make. Free membership of the shed to June 2019 is also included. Participants will be limited to the first 10 applicants.

The workshop is based on 'make and donate', with at least one toy to be given to our chosen charity, plus you will be able to make additional toys to keep for yourself.

Check out the course details on our Facebook page www.facebook.com...

Phone enquiries to Rob Hammington, 022 0077 627.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
