Habitat's "The Remakery" set to open
Habitat for Humanity Northland are launching a new social enterprise called The ReMakery.
The ReMakery will be an upcycle store and community space that focuses on keeping goods out of landfill and upskilling the community to learn how to do this.
Profits made go directly to Habitat for Humanity’s Home Programmes in order to help build a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
A space at 3 Woods Road, donated by Spacelamp will be used to host workshops and events through partnerships with community groups such as SewGood, Boomerang Bags, EcoSolutions, Ano Clothing and many more.
A container positioned at the same site donated by Sea Containers; will become a ReMakery Shop, stocked full of unique upcycled furniture, clothing and thrifted goods.
Habitat for Humanity Northland have also partnered with Whare Bike. Whare Bike is an open workshop and social space that helps to reduce waste going to landfill by inviting the community to come together to service, fix, build and ride their bikes.
The ReMakery will begin running the Whare Bike workshops and have also partnered with Northland Region Corrections Facility and local bike shop Missing Link to start teaching the prisoners to build bikes from old bike parts donated by Northland Waste.
Volunteers interested in getting involved with the project in anyway to contact Habitat on 09 438 2250 or email officenorthland@habitat.org.nz

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
