Have you heard about Webfair
It is an amazing website set up by a group of Canterbury people that wanted to provide a site for people to donate products and for the monies generated to go to charities.
It is like Trade me (whereby individual people list products they would like to sell and the charity they would like to support), people go in and bid the money raised goes to charity that is listed at that time on the website. Money minus a $1 fee (to cover running costs) all goes to the charity.
So you can participate by doing the following:-
1. Have a clear out and donate goods.
2. Select a deserving charity to receive the funds raised.
3. Login and become a buyer and get a fantastic bargin whilst helping a
deserving charity.
4. Discuss with your family and friends to that they to can enjoy the
gift of giving, whilst decluttering OR enjoy the gift of giving by
purchasing an item whilst getting a bargin and stopping good items
from going into the tip.
Win, Win Win situation for all.
The Charity of Cat Rescue Christchurch is being added to the list of charities tonight so would love for you to join us and raise some funds so we can move towards our goal of renting premises for our organisation to be based from.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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.
