Hey neighbour's,
I am having to move out of the area unfortunately and I don't have alot to spend on doing so, I'm hoping there are some spare items tucked away that you don't need anymore and wouldn't mind helping me out with?
I don't have a lot in the way of possessions as I'm leaving a lot behind for my flatmate who has a child, I would be extremely greatful for anything just to keep me going.

If you have a surplus of any of these items please let me know!
Double bed bedding
Jug
Microwave
Fridge/freezer (i know that's abit much to ask for though)
Pegs
A bucket
A baby gate
Toaster
Matress protector

I do have alot of experience cleaning so if you would like me to work in exchange for any items I am happy to do so!

There is help for families affected by problem drinking.

In extreme cases, an alcoholic may be homeless, but many live in families that are struggling because of the challenges that come with problem drinking.

Family members become lonely, isolated, ashamed and depressed. They feel that life has become unmanageable or unbearable. Al-Anon-Alateen Family Groups is a support programme for people who are living with or have lived with the problems of someone else's drinking.

Al-Anon and Alateen for young people offer understanding and personal growth - whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. There are free of charge meetings daily around Auckland. To find one visit online here.

Members share their experiences of applying the Al-Anon principles to their lives. There is no advice given or specific direction suggested.

Below are a few thoughts from people who have tried Al-Anon:

"I believed that the only thing I needed to be happy and safe was for my husband to stop drinking."

"My life had got so out of control not knowing what my state my daughter would be in when I got home."

"I thought I was strong enough to deal with this on my own...After trying everything, I went to my first meeting."

Fate of historic building in limbo due to council funding woes

Kia ora neighbours, the fate of a historic building is unknown as Auckland Council say it’s no longer in a financial position to fund it.

The Whare on the former Monte Cecilia Catholic School site in Hillsborough, next to the Pah Homestead, was spared from demolition in 2016 under the presumption it could be used as a community facility.

But six years on, Puketāpapa Local Board chairwoman Julie Fairey said it was now “stuck in limbo” as both the council and the Wallace Arts Trust, which owns Pah Homestead, can no longer fund its restoration.
