Community Upcycling Sewing Bee
We're excited to invite you to our Community Sewing Bee to support raising awareness of Ovarian Cancer and research.
On average 371 females are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in New Zealand each year, with one woman dying from the disease approximately every 48 hours!
We will be sewing, chatting, and creating for a good cause. Upcycling donated clothing into beautiful, sellable items to raise funds for ovarian cancer. If you sew, bring along your machine and join in the fun. If you don't sew, that's ok too - there are plenty of ways to help. Everyone is welcome, no experience needed.
Saturday 25 October
Rothesay Bay Hall, Cnr Rothesay Bay Road & Beulah Ave.
Drop in any time between 10am & 3pm
Tea & Coffee provided
All ages welcome
Let's stitch together for a good cause.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
