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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
