Have you heard about Webfair
It is an amazing website set up by a group of Canterbury people that wanted to provide a site for people to donate products and for the monies generated to go to charities.
It is like Trade me (whereby individual people list products they would like to sell and the charity they would like to support), people go in and bid the money raised goes to charity that is listed at that time on the website. Money minus a $1 fee (to cover running costs) all goes to the charity.
So you can participate by doing the following:-
1. Have a clear out and donate goods.
2. Select a deserving charity to receive the funds raised.
3. Login and become a buyer and get a fantastic bargin whilst helping a
deserving charity.
4. Discuss with your family and friends to that they to can enjoy the
gift of giving, whilst decluttering OR enjoy the gift of giving by
purchasing an item whilst getting a bargin and stopping good items
from going into the tip.
Win, Win Win situation for all.
The Charity of Cat Rescue Christchurch is being added to the list of charities tonight so would love for you to join us and raise some funds so we can move towards our goal of renting premises for our organisation to be based from.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
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?
