Volunteers wanted!

Gavin from Grey District

* Can you spare a few hours each week?
* Would you like to help support members of your community?

The Salvation Army are needing more volunteers in their Family Store for front of house.

Did you know that the Family Store generates the income that allows The Salvation Army Greymouth to offer their services for free to the community of the West Coast?

The donations that the public gift to us help us to provide the Food Bank, the Financial Mentoring service, general welfare, PLP [Positive Lifestyle Programme] and many more services to the members of the public who are in need. If this sounds like you, please see our Family Store Manager in-house for a Volunteer’s Application form or email us on greymouth.corps@salvationarmy.org.nz.

Thank you! 😊

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
