Community projects wanted. Mens Shed Auckland East

Douglas from Glendowie

Do you have a community project we can help with?

Mens Shed Auckland East Inc undertakes many community projects, large and small.

We have 170 volunteer members with a wide range of skills and can work in wood, metal, and many other materials. For example, we build and repair play equipmenSkiled people at t for Kindies and schools, build outdoor benches for hospices and public spaces, make cubby hole arrays and notice boards for churches – and we have just completed our 6,000th rat-trap as part of the Predator Free NZ initiative. Our charges are very modest and reflect our volunteer workforce. Note: we are not a “repair shop” providing services to private individuals.

For examples of the type of work we do visit the projects page of our website. www.mensshedaucklandeast.org.nz...

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
