Please help us to find a new location
Dear Neighbours,
Our little pressures community charity needs to vacate our current building early next year. Although we are looking for over a year now we can't find something for us. We are after 80 sqm of room or rooms. We are a Toy Library and need the room to welcome our families when picking up their toys and to store our toys. We are flexible whether it is an office or retail building, a warehouse, container building or garage, in a school/ daycare retirement villages or in cooperation with other organizations. We also considerung to build our own if we can find land.
We can pay rent, but the $35,000 standard commercial fee is just too much for us. We are around for 34 years now and apart from a librarian entirely run by volunteers. We give access to over 1,300 high quality educational toys for a small annual fee. This not just saves parents money but is also good for the environment. W
Please help us being able to help our beautiful kids also for the coming 30 years!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
