Calling schools or sewing/craft clubs or charities - free materials and craft things

Lucinda Neighbourly Lead from Mangere

Hi,

If you work for a school or club teaching sewing or crafts or are part of a charity making things (especially for animal charities). I have a lot of material and other things to help that you are welcome to have free.

I would rather they go somewhere doing good but if you are an individual and would like it all please could you pay me something towards it. I would consider $90 more than reasonable given the amount and quality. The materials alone cost at least four times that.

You’d have to collect from Mangere as there’s quite a lot including:

Lace
Silk
Materials
Bias binding
Knitting needles
Hooks and eyes
Sewing needles
Filling
Foam
Buttons

Amongst other things!

Have a look at the photos. I have more photos of the rest if you message me.

Sorry I can’t measure everything. I also prefer it all goes at the same time. Thanks

Cheers

Negotiable

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
