Another great find at Henderson ReStore!

Henderson ReStore Charity Shop (Habitat Auckland)

Kia ora Westies! Meet John, a volunteer at our Henderson ReStore at 7 Dora Place, Henderson. He doesn't like to see anything go to waste. So today he showed us some upcycled lamps he has cleverly made out of kitchen utensils. We love them!

The most recent lamp is made out of a decorative metal teapot and vintage teaspoons. It took John almost three hours to make! His upcycled lights are available for purchase in the ReStore and can add some real originality and quirk to a room! Come on down and discover all kinds of interesting finds!

Remember to think ReStore charity shop next time you fancy a 2nd hand shopping adventure or are donating your pre-loved goods. Like and Follow us on Facebook to be one of the first to see the latest great buys in store.

At ReStore, we are into ‘giving a past a future’, saving the wallet and the environment. Community support means everything to us….. so a big THANK YOU from all our team!

Wishing you a great week ahead everyone :-)

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
