Community Support Needed for a family
We’re reaching out to our community to support a family who have recently experienced a robbery. They lost almost everything - appliances, furniture, and children’s Christmas presents were stolen.
This whānau has eight children aged between 2 and 14 years old, and at the moment they are all sleeping on the floor. Beds and bedding are the highest priority right now, as the family rebuilds their home and a sense of stability.
If anyone is able to help:
Beds, mattresses, or bedding
Household items
Small appliances
Furniture
Christmas gifts for the children
Your kindness would make an enormous difference during what should be a joyful time of year.
If you would like to help or find out more about what’s needed, please contact me. We will coordinate drop-offs and collection to make the process as easy as possible.
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒
I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!
So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Can anyone please help with transporting supplies to the Tokoroa dog shelter?
Hello Neighbours
I’ve collating donations for the SWDC dog shelter (near-expiry food; towels, blankets, plastic beds, toys, etc). There’s enough already to fill a 4-wheel drive or big ute but, at least, a BIG boot full. It would be great to get this to the shelter (esp. the short-dated food) ASAP
If you have spare / unused stretcher beds, plastic dog baskets, bedding, food, metal food bowls, leads, collars, toys, etc which you'd like to donate, please contact me, many thanks
