Webfair - Great concept

Bronwyn Neighbourly Lead from Sydenham

Hi Everyone. Cat Rescue Christchurch is on webfair for the first time. Have you heard of this concept.

People can donate and gift a item ( for sale) using the same process as loading an item on trademe ( I think it is easier as I have just loaded 10 items on behalf of Cat Rescue). You choose which charity you want the monies to go to and the charity gets the money (less $1 fee only regardless of the price sold). Items do have to sell before the charity gets any money.

So if you like the thought of this concept go on and have a look. There are 12 charities. Talk to your family and friends and get them to do the same. It will only be a success if

1. People donate items to sell in order to support their fav charity or charities.
2. People go on and buy and get a bargain.
3. Auction closes 14 th of December so lots of time to pursue for those extra Xmas present bargains

Have fun looking and if anyone out there needs help loading items on face just ask. Happy to help if means money for any charity even if not my fav charity being Cat Rescue Christchurch. I have loaded the ten items here that are on the Cat Rescue Webfair Page

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
