Help the Victoria Theatre Trust
🎠Help Us Keep The Vic Thriving for Generations to Come
The Victoria Theatre Trust is a separate charitable entity from The Vic Ltd, which operates the cinema. While The Vic Ltd brings stories to life on screen, the Trust works tirelessly behind the scenes to preserve and maintain the 113-year-old heritage building and upgrade costly cinema equipment.
We rely entirely on donations and community support to restore, upgrade, and protect this valuable community asset. Right now, we urgently need funds to replace the worn and tired seats to ensure comfort and accessibility for all.
✨ Your donation will help us:
• Install new, comfortable seating
• Improve the cinema experience for audiences of all ages
• Support the ongoing preservation of this iconic building
Whether you’re a regular at The Vic or a supporter of local heritage, your contribution makes a real difference

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
33.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
65.6% No, I enjoy it

1% Other - I'll share below

Government targeted relief
My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.
