Purr-fect time for a spring clear out?

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

Now is the purr-fect time to get your paws stuck in! September has arrived and the annual Spring clean clear out is due 🌸

Why not turn lockdown into productivity at home, bring the scents of Spring inside and start your clear out early? Now is a great opportunity to get stuck in to declutter or spruce up your space, pop any unwanted or surplus goods aside, and we will let you know once we are safe to start receiving donations again.

With our SPCA Op Shops closed under Level 4 and Level 3 across the country, we would be incredibly grateful for any donated goods you can put aside for our local stores, all money raised contributes to helping animals in need.

Stay safe Aotearoa 💙

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Xmas lights exploded

Jan from Te Atatu South

My Christmas tree lights controller exploded in a ball of flames last night, so please be careful, Ive had them for a few years. If I hadnt been in the room it would have been a fire.
