We have had a fantastic response to our products and our service over the past six months .

Customers have been inundating us with positive feedback and as word is getting out about Firewood Factory and the level of product and service to match.

What we want to emphasise now is how important it is to buy wood off a reputable operator. We have so many clients who have purchased wood time and time again from a backyard operator and they always get let down, either with wet wood or wood that is filled with debris.

With our wood screening and drying shed we ensure the wood is top quality with the service to match, every time.

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Hi Everyone - LITTLE STORIES OF YOUR LIFE!
Find your voice, share your world and tell your story. Every Thursday starting 24 June 2021 from 3-4pm Thames Library Carnegie Room - Bring a short story of one of your life's experiences and read it whilst sharing afternoon tea. 5-10 mins to read. See file attached.

In the absence of our movie theatre in Thames it will be fun to create our own entertainment via each others stories and indeed may be just the push you need to write something down for your Grandchildren that they otherwise may never know... If you mention an interest at the library they will give you more written details.
