Wanted- Women's, Mens, Kids, Magazines
Registered charity NZ Gifts of Love and Strength provide care packages for victims of trauma.
Most have PTSD which means they have a short concentration span.
In our care packages we love to put a couple of magazines in for them to flick through to take their minds off things for a break.
If you have any of the following magazines still in excellent condition without any puzzles completed etc could you please get in contact with us either on our Facebook page or text Lynette 0274 682 154 or Vicki 0274 388149. Thank you:

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)
