Woolston Relocation News 📢
Sadly our SPCA Op Shop in Woolston is closing down due to the lease ending but rest assured as we are relocating to Sydenham instead, with the shop now almost double the size! Opening in May, our new location will be ready to visit at 428 Colombo Street, Sydenham. Woolston's last day will be Monday 8th May 2023.
Along with Sydenham, please don't forget we still have four other locations available across Christchurch to visit at:
📍 Linwood Op Shop, 244 Linwood Avenue
📍 Riccarton Op Shop, 52 Acheron Drive
📍 Papanui Op Shop, 30 Main North Road
📍 Hornby Op Shop, 1 Amyes Road
💻 Or shop from anywhere at any time and have items delivered straight to your door with our Online Op Shop at www.spcaopshops.nz...
We’re so grateful for years of your support all helping to raise money for animals in need, thank you 💙
Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?
As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!
👉 But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.
We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
