Pukekohe IHC Op Shop
After many wonderful years, the IHC Op Shop Counties has closed its doors for the last time.
This isn’t goodbye! We’re relocating and reopening at 33 Edinburgh Street on Friday, 21st February, under the management of Bloom Pukekohe.
Bloom Pukekohe is a charitable trust that provides horticultural and craft activities for young people and adults with intellectual disabilities.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers who have given their time, energy and kindness to make the Op Shop such a special place.
And to our wonderful customers - your support has made a real difference in helping us support people with intellectual disabilities in Counties.
We’re so grateful to have been part of this community.
Stay tuned for what’s next with Bloom Pukekohe!
We will be closing our Facebook page. You can follow Bloom’s Facebook page here: www.facebook.com...
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
Want to see what recovery will look like from here? The Waikato Times has the latest.
