Local bird rescuers need your help
Lower Hutt Kereru Rescue needs your help.
Throughout 2020 it received 784 phone calls relating to injured birds.
It responded to 598 calls and rescued a total of 543 birds (including the ruru pictured) that were picked up and helped.
It spent $16,357 throughout 2020 on rescues, care and rehabilitation of the birds it rescued. Unfortunately the donations didn't cover the costs for the year which resulted in it coming out of the pocket of organiser Hayden James.
Each rescue costs around $35. If you can help, click on Read More and check out their website.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

in need of Hydrangeas for wedding
Hello everyone
My daughter is getting married this Saturday 28th February and the venue was battered by the storm and destroyed a lot of the flowers we were allowed to use. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any green white or baby pink hydrangeas in their garden that they wouldn't mind parting with ?
Would be very much appreciated
Thank you
Linda
