Hi

My charity NZ Gifts of Love and Strength has launched a pick me up appeal for those affected by the devastating floods in the Upper South Island.

We know from our appeals for Mid Canterbury and Westport / Buller floods the importance of receiving something after all the volunteer helpers have left and you are dealing still with the clean up and insurance etc. Stress is very high. We want to ensure they do not feel like they have been forgotten about.

We have got Lions Host Club Nelson and Lions Havelock dispersing to those most greatly affected in approximately 3 - 4 weeks time.

SVA will be collecting the following items ONLY from our collection points:

A card handmade or bought ( do not seal envelope) write a nice message or even write a poem on a piece of paper it does not have to cost a lot of money. It's the thought that counts.

A small packet of lollies , or packet of individual packets of lollies or chocolate

A small flat knitted or sewn handmade heart/worry worm etc that will fit into a card envelope.

Drop off points are :
all New World Supermarkets
Super Value Lyttelton
Paper Plus New Brighton
Rangi-Ruru Boarding House
Silver Boutique Bishopdale
Dominator Doors
TC Transcontinental (airport business hub)
St Albans Community Centre
Hornby Community Centre
PIPS charity Wainoni

We would love schools, retirement homes, craft groups to be involved.

Please email us on giftsofloveandstrength@gmail.com if you would like to be involved.

The pictures are our first donation from a family that came on at Preston's New World and a good example of what we are trying to give those affected by the mud /floods.

Sarah Wylie, a social researcher is currently undertaking research on Burnside and the surrounding area for two local churches, Burnside Campus - Christchurch Elim (Grahams Rd) and St Timothy's (Kendal Ave). We are keen to better understand our community and its strengths, challenges, and needs, to help us tailor the activities and supports we collectively offer, complementing the great things already happening locally.

if you live in this area, it would be awesome to hear from you via this survey. It will take a few minutes and it won't identify you - what you say is anonymous.
The survey will be online until 29 August 2022.

EDIT: Our fur baby was found last night, safe and well but hungry. He had been accidentally locked in a garden shed. Thank you to everyone who took the time to look for him 💖

Our kitten Ziggy has been missing a few days now. It is very unlike him to not come home. He is normally inside between 6-7pm. We live on Greers/Brookside Terrace diagonally from Pizza Hut and the Pharmacy. Please keep an eye out for our baby. We are hoping he is locked in a garage or shed somewhere. He is very friendly and loves a pat and is curious, but always comes home. He has a blue releasable collar with a big gold star with his name on it, a big bell and our contact details attached. Please help us bring our baby home.
