Community Op Shop Temporary Closure

Linda Turner from Hornby Community Care Centre

In light of the recent coronavirus announcements, it has been decided to temporarily close the Community Op Shop here in the Hornby Community Centre. As much as it saddens us to have to close, it is in the best interest of our most valuable assets…our volunteers and our community. For those that know our little shop, our volunteers are mostly older adults over 70 or those who have compromised immune systems due to underlying medical conditions so we are not prepared to risk their health. After speaking with all the volunteers, be rest assured they are all keen to be back on board at the Op Shop once this health crisis is over. In the meantime, if anyone in our community is in serious need of clothing or household goods please ring Linda on (03) 349-9793 for assistance. Please take care of yourselves and your family. Keep in touch with loved ones, friends and neighbours. And please….let’s make KINDNESS contagious instead

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
