Here at Trade Me we're chuffed to let you know we’ve launched our Kindness Store again for winter, supporting KidsCan and the great work they do making sure our tamariki have a fair start – after all, little Kiwis can’t learn when they’re hungry, wet, and cold.
We’ve stocked the store with all the essentials. Think fleece-lined rain coats and shoes to keep kids warm and dry, and warm, healthy food.
Just pick, click, and give now – we take care of the rest, making sure your purchase gets to KidsCan.

A rare Red Weather warning has been issued for Buller and Westland from 9pm tonight until early Saturday.
The current warning in place forecasts between 300mm and 400mm of rain to fall in the region, almost twice its monthly rainfall. Peak rates of 20-30mm per hour is set to fall on Friday afternoon.
MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris said that there would be significant impact on West Coast communities and transport links to other regions, with the possibility of roads becoming impassable and possibly isolating communities.
"We are asking people to act now to keep themselves and their whānau safe and to heed the advice of authorities," adds Ferris. "Anyone with travel plans in Westland and Buller on Friday and Saturday are urged to keep up to date with road information from Waka Kotahi NZTA. This is especially relevant due to the school holidays bringing more families to the West Coast."

Maybe you are moving or going to a Retirement Village where you cannot have a pet - or it can be any other reason.
Jeni and I have a rescue shih tzu (7) - she had been very badly treated. Now we have had her 2 years and she is gaining confidence we would like to rehome a doggy as a playmate for her.
We also have another little old shih tzu they are good friends but Daisy is 15, deaf and nearly completely blind, she also has a liver condition. So she’s a companion but not a great playmate.
We have always had three dogs and we are basically looking for another ‘short nosed’ doggy up to spaniel size.
The doggy would not lose touch with its current owner and we would keep in touch with visits/walks - whatever was requested.
We have a nice house looking over the Port and would be happy to have it inspected.
The Ngamoutu Domain is only a few metres from our front door and it’s a favourite place for walks.
Rob Mills at NP Vet Group is our vet for Daisy so any new doggie will be looked after well in case of illness.
All our dogs sleep in our bedroom and are rarely left at home alone.
My mobile is 0212666721 (if I cannot answer I will see your no and phone back) or reply with a phone number on this site.
Thank you —Roger Tonkin

There are many reasons why elder abuse occurs. It often stems from attitudes that are ageist, and disrespectful of older people.
The majority of cases that Age Concerns work with involves older people living in their own homes. In most instances it is family members like adult children who perpetrate elder abuse or neglect.
