Macrame Workshop

Silvia from Te Kowhai

💖Macrame Workshop💖
A few spaces still available at our mother's day workshop - Sat. 8th May. Venue: Te Kowhai. More details here: www.facebook.com...
If you've always wanted to give macrame a go, but don't know how to get started, this workshop is perfect for you. Here you will learn some of the basic macrame knots (which you will then be able to apply to a huge range of other macrame projects) and create a gorgeous macrame heart and a couple of keyrings to take home.

These make wonderful mother's day gifts, or better still: spend a couple of hours with that special person in your life and together learn a new creative skill.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
