How Can You Assist - please read attaches article from chch star

Vicki Parker from NZ Gifts of Love and Strength

Merry Xmas Everyone
We just wanted to thank all our amazing volunteers we have had this year, knitters, sewers and crocheters.

Many of you are older survivors who I call "warriors " as you havd been so brave to share your journey and how you were made to feel ashamed many years ago for asking for help and now feel like you're healing by volunteering for the young ones who were just like you at the same age.

We would love your support to vote for our lovely tree which is up in The Crossing called THE HEALING TREE it has all been made by volunteers including the tree itself.
We also are selling wildflower seed bombs packs for a fundraiser for $18 .( great teacher or Secret Santa gifts),.Single Serve Xmas Cakes ($7 &$8gf) and truffles. I will post these in another post but please support us this xmas to support youth affected by sexual harm.

Just a wee reminder we are NOT a foodbank that MSD keeps telling people we are, we done have food, and we don't take referrals from the public.

Have a lovely Xmas and thanks for your support 😀

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
