'Upcycling' for Opotiki SPCA - seeking old wood furniture
Hi all,
I am seeking koha of tired old items of wooden furniture to up-cycle and sell to raise money for Opotiki SPCA. Only requirement is that they are borer-free, other than that they can be rough as!
I usually volunteer at the SPCA a few days a week but ill health means I can't at the moment so I am thinking of other ways to help.
I hope to do a few pieces for them to sell at Trash & Treasure and hopefully inspire other people to get involved too so that we could make it a regular way for people of any age to socialise productively and be creative while supporting a very worthy cause.
Opotiki SPCA receives no government funding and is almost entirely volunteer run and achieves so much in our community, but they need our support to keep running.
If you would like to donate something or get involved please email upforgoodopo@hotmail.com and I will get back to you to make arrangements.
Thank you,
Robyn
PS - If anyone would like to donate a shed to the SPCA I know it would be very welcome :)

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
