Recycled Plastic Bags made into Bedrolls for Homeless
Morning everyone. Thank you so much for all the fantastic support in our need to get your recycled plastic bags so volunteers and members of Aranui Handiscope, can make the bedrolls for the homeless. The support has come in thick and fast and we are deeply appreciated. We need lots of recycled shopping bags so if you have any and would like to support us you can either drop them to St Ambrose Church 309 Breezes Rd ( Tues & Fri ) or 68 shortland St ( any day ). The bedrolls are soft, light to carry, hygenic and so warm are being knitted or crocheted. Thank you so much for your continued support, warm wishes Julie Williams - photos show one bedroll folded and laying out.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
