Learn to Sew and Tuesday Tips for Reuse
We are so happy to be offering small scale workshops at the Centre over the next 2 months thanks to Auckland Council. (Covid permitting). For now we will keep going forward.
.
Simple solutions to single use are our focus for Tuesday Tips, from home made cleaners to shopping bags, bunting to cutlery holders for celebrations. Basic sewing machine skills are required but if you don't have them yet then join one of our Learn to Sew sessions in the afternoon where you will learn to thread a machine, wind a bobbin and learn straight and zigzag stitches on the machine. These are FREE workshops and all materials will be supplied, donations are gratefully accepted to keep the van running and the insurances covered and all those other basics that we need.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
