The Week at Manchester Street
So this week we have the books on sale for $1.00. With more going out.
We have a lovely wedding dress (10 - 14) on display, just what you are looking for.
Material on the front table still on going with more to come.
There is an awesome 3/4 bed complete with boxed Trundler underneath. This is in great condition.
WE NEED FURNITURE!!!! If you have any that you are wanting to donate please do not hesitate to contact us and we can collect from you 03 3652 051.
A big shout out to the our Red Cross First Response Teams up north and all the work they do.
Just a little information for the readers - The proceeds from our stores across the country go directly to our First Response teams so that they can do what they do in times like those that we are facing at the moment.
If you are wanting to donate there are 3 ways:
Cash Donation on Line redcross.org.nz
Cash Donation within the store
Saleable goods donated to the stores and these sold as mentioned this going to our teams.
And of course by shopping with us you are not only helping with the course but also recycling.
Please note: We are NOT transporting donated goods to the affected areas.
Look forward to seeing you all.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️
As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.
With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
-
44.4% Yes - we like to be prepared
-
38.9% Nah
-
16.7% This is on my to-do list!
