Cat Rescue is on fundraising website called Webfair

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

We are one of 13 charities that have goods donated (by the community and business) to be sold with the proceeds to go to the nominated Charities.

AUCTION/FAIR CLOSES THIS THURSDAY AT 8.30 SO HOP ON LINE NOW.

$1 reserve with over 90+ items put up by our supporters.  1/2 of the items so far do not have bids on them and about 10 amazing products only have a bid of $1 SO BARGINS TO BE HAD.

Please can we have your support by login on and having a look or bidding.  Spread the word amongst your friends and family.  I personally think this site will become bigger than on line buying sites  (that started small) but will only be as successful as community support.  WILL ALL PROCEEDS (APART FROM A $1 CHARGE PER SALE TO MAINTAIN THE SITE) GOING TO CHARITY.

Not just Cat Rescue Christchurch but also the other charites ie

Age Concern
Belfast Rugby Club (Local)
Cat Rescue Christchurch (Local)
Child Rescue
Children's Autism
Cholmondelely Children's Centre (Local)
Diabetes Christchurch Society (Local)
Fill your Lunchbox (Local)
Graeme Dingle Foundation
Make a Wish Foundation
Papanui High School's PTA Fundraiser (Local)
Shavanti Bhavan Children's Project
Wildlife Hospital (Local).

I personally brought 3 items in last auction/fair for $10 and one of those items were some Zeira Shoes for $5. I supported 3 charities in my sale.  Bargin buy's and easy normal and secure payment options.  As with other online sites delivery option is postage (either at the sellers or buyers cost) but for the local items it is pick up in time for xmas.

Have a look and if you don't like anything, there is always the option to process a $5 donation to any of the charities indicated.

Enjoy and merry xmas.


Psss if you want to know about other auctions starting on this site or be into entering competitions for giveaway prizes like the WEBFAIR facebook page.  They will keep you upto date for the chance to get more bargins in the future.

The Team from Humans of Christchurch Ōtautahi

"Sports and travelling run in the family, and that's kind of what's led me to come to New Zealand."

"I grew up in a small town in Finland. My dad was involved with sports all his life, he was a shot putter, discus thrower, powerlifter, we traveled quite a bit when I was a kid. He never mentioned much of the rugby days. He just said he broke both of his shin bones playing rugby, so he said, ‘never play the sport, It's crazy.’

I started playing when I was 18. I played my first cap for the Finnish national team in 2014, we won the Finnish championship with my club. Rugby is not a big thing in Finland.

I moved here to play rugby in 2017. The club that wanted me to come over was Methven Rugby Club. They got me here and they were like, ‘what do you do for work? I’d just finished chef school in Finland. ‘We'll get you a job at Mount Hutt as a chef, you can do that while you play rugby with us.’ I said, ‘Perfect. Yeah, I'm in’.

I've always loved food. My mum was an amazing cook, and still is. When I was studying tourism I worked in some hotels in Finland, and I saw how the chef's worked. I just loved the kitchen vibe and I was like, Yeah, that’d be something I'd love to do.

I've had more of a culinary journey In New Zealand than in Finland. I started at Mount Hutt, after that I worked at The Dubliner in Methven. I worked as a senior pizza chef at Sal’s for maybe six months then worked as chef de partie at Cellar Door. At Eliza's Manor, I worked myself up to a junior sous chef. Then the opportunity came to work my first head chef job at Moon Under Water.

We're privileged to have a busy atmosphere, we can try new things and get a bit creative. There are no TV’s, just come here with your family or with your mates, play board games, to socialise.

I really want to drive the local food and ingredients through the menu. We don't mind spending more for quality ingredients as long as it's supporting New Zealand businesses. We just love to use local. And it's pub food, but I feel like it's elevated.

I play club rugby here for the Christchurch Football Club, the oldest club in New Zealand and I still play regularly for the Finnish national team, whenever they can fly me over to play."

I'm sure you've seen it while doing your weekly shop... In fact, it may have even been you.

What do you think about people heading to the supermarket in their pyjamas?
