Well, What do you think of the name? What do you think that they do?
Good Bitches Baking is a network of people who want to show kindness to those in their communities who are having a tough time. They do this by baking them a delicious treat. The purpose is to give a moment of sweetness to people having a tough time, so they deliver baking to organisations that work with or support groups of people who need some kindness.
Good Bitches Baking is seeking bakers and drivers in New Plymouth to spread a bit of sweetness in the community.
Ideally you will be able to:
• Bake one batch of baking, once a month. What you bake is entirely up to you.
• Drop off the baking on the Sunday to the recipient organization you are rostered to bake for or a driver will collect this from you.
• Complete a monthly availability survey in order for the Team to be able to roster you to bake once a month.
All baking is well received. You don't need to be a patisserie chef or have a big budget. The only common ingredient is care for the people you're baking for, and all our Good Bitches put lots of this into everything they're baking.
Currently the Organisations receiving this baking to share with their people who are going through tough times and could benefit from a little kindness and sweetness in their day are Gabby’s Starlit HOPE, Taranaki Retreat, Taranaki Women’s Refuge and Neonatal Ward as well as Heart Kids (when they have events)
Anyone can be a Good Bitch – it’s a very admiring and gender-inclusive term. Good Bitches are people who want to help and like to just get stuff done. You don’t have to be a master baker, because it’s your kindness that matters the most.
As an aside, we know that life is very expensive these days and sometimes the idea of something extra in the budget is a barrier to being part of something. If this is you, please do ask about the Cup of Sugar fund.
You can also be a driver if driving is your thing! On the roster they create driving groups, and they need drivers to collect baking from each of the bakers in the group and then deliver that baking to our recipient organizations. You can be just a driver, or you can also opt in to bake as well as being a driver.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
