New SPCA Op Shop in FRANKTON!

The Team from

Our Hamilton Op Shops are growing, and we are excited to announce we have a second store in the Hamilton neighbourhood located at 42 Lake Road in Frankton — make sure you come along to check it out! It is open 7 days a week (yes that's right, it's open both Saturdays & Sundays).

We are also on the look out for more support with day-to-day operations in our Frankton store, so if you have some spare time each week please consider filling out our volunteer application form. A few hours a week goes a long way, all while knowing the store contributes to helping animals in need 🐱🐰

For more information, please visit: www.spca.nz...

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

How long it’ll take depends on who you ask and you can measure it in years, elections, or Rugby world cups.

But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
