Second Chances - Preloved Clothing Sale!

Rebecca Bangma from The House of Grace Trust - Hamilton

The House of Grace is a home. Volunteer 'House Parent's, and their children, live at the house, and provide the loving and stable family home that many young girls and their babies so desperately need. It's a place where the girls learn what a healthy family unit looks like, where they are encouraged to return to their own education and make plans for theirs and baby's futures, and it's a place where love, grace and learning abound. As a non-profit and non–government funded organisation, we rely on the support from people who share our heart to see young lives changed.

We are running a fundraiser and we need your help to make it a success!  We need donations of good quality women's and children's clothing. Accepting all sizes, all seasons and accessories. 

Check out the various drop off locations around Hamilton below. 

If you're able to volunteer on the day, in the lead up to the day, or have a question, please get in contact with Michelle via email Michelle@thog.org.nz.

With your support we can provide a positive start in life for a new generation of families and help young Mum's plan for a brighter future.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.

It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.

Do you think Hamilton City Council should sell some airport shares?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Two senior Hamilton councillors are pushing for an airport share sell-down and international flights to and from the city.

Councillors had already asked Waikato Regional Airport Limited to aim for bigger dividends and to beef up its commitment to attracting international flights at a city economic development committee hui in March.
