Are you ready to get Upcycling?
The Resene Upcycling Awards are coming back this month, the third year in a row! Watch this space and get prepared for the announcement; there are great prizes up for grabs.
Upcycling is the term used for taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's for a new purpose altogether, or just to give it an ‘extreme makeover'. Consider using the school holidays to get Upcycling with the smaller members of your household - or use the next rainy day to drag out the paint and your creativity!
In the meantime, check out some of the creative cookies from last year.
Poll: Do you think a new centre for homeless people would help?
A Hamilton City councillor is throwing her weight behind a homeless centre in the CBD, which would see funds destined for a Garden Place playground redirected for the project.
Anna Casey-Cox says the centre would be a “more supportive” option to try and sort out anti-social behaviour in the CBD than the “enforcement” approach.
Do you think a new centre for homeless people would help? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
