Makerspace for young people 15-25 / donation requests
Hi everyone,
I volunteer at a makerspace at the city YMCA called the 4C centre. We have 3D printers, CNC machines, a laser cutter, an audio/visual creation suite, electronics, and all the tech you could imagine!
We are still new and getting a feel for our direction- we welcome new members (just a $20 one off fee!) and run classes on all the tech with the help of our volunteers.
We are looking for donations of materials to use in our projects. I’m wondering whether anyone on neighbourly has ideas of organisations we could ask - even off-cuts or spare bits would be appreciated. We have a whole workshop set up and so many inspired youth but art and creation has to start somewhere!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
