Too Much Backyard Fruit?
If your trees have more fruit than you can use, don't let it go to waste - get in touch with Community Fruit Wellington (ph: 022 596 9577 or email wellypickfruit@gmail.com) and our volunteers will come and pick, or collect already picked fruit, from you. Fruit goes to Kaibosh and some local Foodbanks who distribute it back into the community to those in need. Want to find out more about us? Go to our Facebook page, or come and visit us at the Island Bay "Day in the Bay" event on Sunday 11 February, or the Newtown Fair on Sunday 3 March. We'd love to have a chat about how we can work together to reduce unnecessary backyard fruit waste!

-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
