Grow an extra row

Yates

While some Kiwis are enjoying home grown vegies, many are going without vegetables altogether.

This National Gardening Week we’re encouraging gardeners to grow-an-extra-row to share with neighbours, community pantries, food banks and other local food donation agencies.

To help get your extra row underway Yates is lending a helping hand.

Just register online HERE between 1st and 25th October to receive a FREE packet of Yates Vegie Seeds.

Once you’ve grown your vegies to share (or if you have spare now) please visit HERE to find a list of the organisations that would welcome your donation of fresh homegrown vegies.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

A huge thank you to the Invercargill Licensing Trust and the ILT Foundation @invercargilllicensingtrust!

The Team from SPCA Invercargill - Centre & Op Shops

We’re excited that thanks to their generous grant contribution, our two SPCA Op Shops in Invercargill have a brand-new tail lift delivery truck. It’s a fantastic addition that is already making a difference, helping our team collect quality donated goods more easily, deliver larger purchased items, and keep our Op Shops running smoothly for our community.

Every item bought or donated supports local animals in need, and this new truck is helping us make an enormous difference to the way we operate each day.

Thank you, ILT and the ILT Foundation, for your incredible support for SPCA Invercargill. Your kindness helps us care for animals and build a kinder community for all 💙🐾
