Fundraising for a community workshop
I’ve checked with the Neighbourly team and this doesn’t violate the t&c’s.
Re-New is at the stage now where we are wanting to create a workshop for upcyclers and creators of sustainable goods, artworks, sculpture, furniture etc. to work out of and sell their creations and re-creations.
But to do that, we need to raise some serious money.
We are aiming for $50,000 (plus $5,000 to cover fees) to rent and fit out a workshop facility, with an office and retail area.
Please, if you haven’t already, take a look at our website Re-new.nz and see what we are about. If you like what we are trying to do, please donate. Any amount, $1 or $1,000 would be put to good use.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
