Christmas - A time for Giving

Kevin Hartfield from St Vincent de Paul New Plymouth

Hi, Kevin again from St Vincent de Paul. Chrissy is a good time of the year to look around home at what you do not need/want anymore. We will pick up clean W/M to Fridge/freezers, to tables and chairs, to beds and linen, Kitchen items, even knives forks and spoons etc. Due to "difficult times" alot of families in New Plymouth do not have these item. Are you able to assist?
We pick up and deliver free of charge to anyone referred to us from one of over 20 social agencies in New Plymouth. Our Op Shop in Fitzroys also takes quality small items like clothing, books nick-nacks etc, to sell to support our work. Ph Kevin (027) 251-9998 or email: kevinvincentdepaul1@gmail.com

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
