Give kindness, this Christmas

Trade Me

We at Trade Me are chuffed to let you know we’ve launched our Kindness Store again for Christmas, teaming up with KidsCan, Foster Hope and Women’s Refuge .

We’ve filled The Kindness Store with the things they need most – just type ‘kindness’ in Trade Me’s search bar, and you’ll find a bunch of opportunities to give to Kiwis in need.

100% of your purchase goes directly to your charity of choice, and if you’ve been wondering what to give someone this year, a Kindness Store gift might be the perfect solution!

Just pick, click, and ‘Give Now’ – we’ll get it to the charity for you. Easy.

Are you for, or against?

The butcher with a taste for adventure

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Jonathan and Sarah Walker are a couple with a give-it-a-go attitude to life, whether it’s travelling the world in a Land Rover or starting a butchery business with no experience.

Nestled below Hakarimata Scenic Reserve just outside of Ngāruawāhia is Soggy Bottom Holding, the local butcher you’ll recognise from frosty mornings at the farmer’s markets.
